WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gevrey-Chambertin Dix Climats 2022 begins with fermentation, which often includes a small percentage of whole clusters, typically between 20-30%. Macerations are described as gentle. Fermentation takes place in a combination of enameled steel, stainless steel, and cement vats. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in oak barrels for approximately twelve months. The domaine prefers barrels that have been used for one previous wine, sourced from the Allier and Nivernais regions, with medium to medium-plus toasts. After barrel aging, the wine typically spends a period in tanks before being bottled.
