WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Trapet practices biodynamic and organic viticulture. The 2021 vintage experienced reduced yields due to frost. Fermentation is traditional, with some use of whole bunch (around 40%), employing techniques like punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is subsequently aged in oak barrels, with new oak usage typically between 20% and 50%. The estate's philosophy centers on expressing terroir purity through these methods.
