WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Armand Rousseau employs traditional winemaking methods for its Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru. Grapes are fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with temperature control. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels. The estate utilizes approximately 90% de-stemmed fruit, with the remainder left as whole bunches to contribute to tannin and structure. Rigorous sorting of grapes is a key practice, particularly in vintages like 2021, to ensure the quality of the fruit used in the final wine.
