WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine des Carlines La Vouivre 2021 is produced using natural fermentation. A significant portion of the wine is aged for 18 months in used Burgundy oak barrels (3-5 years old), with the remainder in stainless steel. Following this, the wine is blended and undergoes an additional three months of maturation in stainless steel vats before bottling. The wine is bottled without filtration or fining.
