WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Garance Bourgogne Rouge La Sœur Cadette 2023 begins with spontaneous fermentation of whole clusters in open oak vats, with temperature control. Maceration lasts for two weeks, employing a mix of punch-downs and pump-overs. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for nine months in older Burgundy barrels (228L) and 'feuillettes' (132L). A moderate addition of sulfur dioxide is made post-malolactic fermentation and before bottling. The producer's approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the natural character of the Pinot Noir and the Vézelay terroir to shine through.
