WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Fleurie Maison Jane Eyre 2022 likely involves traditional Beaujolais techniques such as carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration, often with whole-cluster fermentation. Spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts is also a common practice, aiming to capture the vineyard's unique microbial profile. Aging may occur in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity or in French oak barrels, with the percentage of new oak carefully managed to complement rather than dominate the wine. Harvests are typically conducted with attention to grape ripeness and quality. Jane Eyre's approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself.
