WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Marigny-Neuf Sauvignon begins with a few hours of skin maceration at low temperatures under carbon dioxide. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes six months of aging in vats on its fine lees, with intensive stirring of the lees occurring every two weeks. This method aims to enhance the wine's texture and aromatic depth.
