WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Estournelles-Saint-Jacques begins with 100% destemmed grapes. A short cold maceration of 4-5 days is employed to enhance fruit and color extraction. Fermentation is initiated by indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction is achieved using a bladder-press. The wine then undergoes aging in French oak barrels for 14 to 17 months. Wines are typically racked only before bottling and are not filtered.
