WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for La Soufrandière Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Climat « Aux Vignerais » begins with grapes cultivated using certified organic and biodynamic farming methods. The harvest is entirely by hand, with a focus on meticulous fruit selection. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, allowing for a natural expression of the terroir. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of 11 to 17 months in used oak barrels, with no new oak employed. This approach prioritizes minimal intervention to showcase the wine's origin.
