WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée 1859 is produced using natural winemaking techniques. Grapes are harvested manually and selected meticulously. Vinification involves delicate crushing and fermentation in open vats with indigenous yeasts. Transfers are managed by gravity to minimize manipulation. The wine then undergoes extended aging in barrels. Domaine Trapet is committed to biodynamic farming, holding Demeter certification, and practices regenerative viticulture. A key aspect of their approach is the absence of added sulfur throughout the winemaking process.
