WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Jean-Philippe Marchand's wines involves fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Traditional techniques such as 'Le ouillage' (topping up) and 'Le soutirage' (racking) are employed. Wines are subsequently aged in oak barrels, with the proportion of new oak varying based on the wine's appellation. For instance, Grands Crus use 50% new barrels, while Village appellations utilize 2-3 year old barrels. Specific bottlings like the 2022 Aloxe-Corton are aged for 12 months with 1/4 new oak, and the 2022 Fixin for 10 months with 1/4 new oak. Grapes are hand-harvested, and vineyard practices include plowing and the use of organic fertilizer.
