WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Jules Desjourneys emphasizes meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, then fermented with indigenous yeasts, often using whole-bunch fermentation and semi-carbonic maceration in stainless steel or tronconic wood vats. Macerations are extended, typically lasting over three weeks. The wine is then aged for at least 18 months, primarily in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the purity of the terroir and allow for the development of complexity and structure.
