WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process begins with manual harvesting and hand-sorting of grapes to ensure optimal quality. The grapes are then destemmed before undergoing maceration and fermentation in open-top vats for three to four weeks, with daily pump-overs. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, with a portion being new. Louis Jadot practices sustainable viticulture, avoiding synthetic additives and preserving soil structure. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, preserving its natural character and texture.
