WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Murots' begins with hand-harvested grapes, carefully sorted on a vibrating table. The grapes are destemmed before undergoing fermentation in temperature-controlled conical oak vats for 20 to 28 days, followed by gentle pressing. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months, with a portion of new oak used to impart structure and complexity. The producer follows certified organic agriculture practices.
