WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière begins with a manual harvest. Fermentation typically occurs in concrete tanks, employing traditional methods with a long cuvaison (maceration) to extract color and tannins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 8-12 months, utilizing medium toasted oak. Some producers in Maranges emphasize sustainable viticulture. The Regnaudot family's approach prioritizes minimal intervention, often leading to wines bottled without fining or filtration.
