WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Domaine Guy Bocard Meursault Limozin 2022 begins with slow pressing of whole clusters. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The wine then undergoes aging for 12-18 months in French oak, with a portion of new oak (20-50%), and is aged on its lees with occasional stirring to build texture and complexity. Minimal sulfur dioxide is used throughout the process. The estate is committed to organic viticulture, with the 2022 vintage being fully organically certified.
