WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Meursault Le Limozin is produced from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation takes place in 450-liter French oak barrels using wild yeast, followed by a slow fermentation process. The wine then undergoes aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, with 40% of the barrels being new. This approach aims to develop the wine's structure and complexity.
