WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Verret's Irancy Les Mazelots 2017 is produced using a blend of Pinot Noir and César grapes. The wine undergoes aging in oak casks, with the producer's style aiming for integration and enhancement rather than dominance of oak flavors. The 2017 vintage was characterized by a dry summer, which led to concentrated fruit and good acidity in the grapes. The winemaking process for this specific cuvée is noted to be consistent with other vineyard sites like 'Palotte'.
