WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Les Parcellaires de Saulx Volnay 2020 emphasizes single-parcel vinification, where each wine is made from a specific vineyard plot to showcase its distinct terroir. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, though specific details are not provided. The wine is then aged for 18 months in 1-year-old barrels. This aging approach is designed to impart elegance rather than overt power, with a conscious effort to limit the use of new oak in some cuvées. Domaine Belleville, associated with this initiative, is committed to organic farming practices, having entered conversion in 2017.
