WINE MAKING PROCESS
Les Bouquets Montagne Nord Grand Cru is produced using organic and biodynamic viticulture, with harvests carried out by hand. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks, cement, and neutral oak barrels, often with indigenous yeasts. Partial malolactic fermentation is a common practice. The wine undergoes extended aging on its lees, with some cuvées benefiting from additional time in oak barrels. The estate's annual organic bottle production is approximately 30,000 units.
