WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 'Dix Climats' from Domaine Drouhin-Laroze is produced from 100% Pinot Noir. During vinification, 15% of the grapes were fermented with whole bunches. The wine then undergoes aging for approximately 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, with 30% of the barrels being new. This process is managed by the Drouhin-Laroze family, who have a long-standing history of winemaking in Burgundy.
