WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jean-Philippe Marchand Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes, followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration of 15-18 days. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats over 5-6 days, with techniques like punching down and pumping over. The wine then matures in oak barrels, with the age of the barrels varying based on the wine's appellation. The producer also purchases grapes, musts, or wines in barrels from local growers, adhering to traditional Burgundian methods.
