WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru begins with careful selection of grapes. Following a cold soak, fermentation takes place, with the 2021 vintage notably including 15% whole clusters. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, typically 80% new, for twelve months, followed by a further 3-6 months in tanks. Bottling is performed without filtration unless necessary, and the wine rests for six months before release. The estate employs sustainable viticulture practices.
