WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Maison Chanzy Givry Premier Cru Le Champ Lalot 2020 begins with cold maceration and destemming of the grapes. During vinification, pumping over and punching down techniques are employed. Fermentation takes place on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in barrels, with 10% new oak, followed by 5 months of aging in stainless steel tanks. Harvests are conducted by hand, and the viticulture follows sustainable 'raisonnée' practices.
