WINE MAKING PROCESS
The La Dame Bleue Beaujolais Villages 2022 is crafted from Gamay grapes. A key winemaking technique often employed in Beaujolais is carbonic maceration, which helps to develop the characteristic fruity aromas and smooth texture of the wine. Fermentation is typically temperature-controlled to manage the extraction of flavors and maintain freshness. This wine is generally aged briefly, often in stainless steel, to preserve its vibrant, youthful character. The 2022 harvest was influenced by warm and dry weather, resulting in ripe grapes. Boissons Delame's winemaking is guided by a philosophy of environmental stewardship, incorporating certified organic viticulture and a range of sustainable practices, including innovative packaging solutions like recyclable PET bottles and eco-friendly labels.
