WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Maison Carrée Chasselas Sur Lie Non Filtré 2022 is produced using biodynamic viticultural practices. Following a brief maceration and vertical pressing, the wine undergoes traditional vinification. It is then aged on its lees for 6-8 months in large, traditional oak foudres, some of which are historic. The wine is bottled unfiltered, a technique that aims to preserve its natural character and fruit notes. The estate practices biodynamic farming, with vineyards certified by Demeter.
