WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées 2022 is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes. The winemaking process involves a cold pre-fermentation maceration for about seven days, followed by fermentation with one-third whole bunches. Post-fermentation, the wine matures on its lees in barrels, with 20% of these barrels being new oak. The final bottling is done without filtration or clarification, adhering to the domaine's philosophy of minimal intervention. Harvests are manual, with strict control over grape yields.
