WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gevrey-Chambertin 2022 undergoes fermentation in whole clusters with its lees for about four weeks, using natural yeasts and without added sulfites or temperature control. The cap is plunged twice daily. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for 15 months in French oak barrels, with a preference for minimal oak influence. The grapes are sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards.
