WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Mont Chaineux is crafted using a minimalist, non-interventionist approach. The grapes undergo spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then vinified and aged for 7-10 months in oak (barrels and foudres) before being bottled without fining or filtration. Extended aging on lees in the bottle further develops its complexity. The dosage is zero, resulting in a Brut Nature style.
