WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Meursault involves hand-harvesting grapes from vineyards with an average vine age of 30 years. Fermentation occurs in cask at low temperatures. The wine then undergoes aging for 18 months in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used. The decision on malolactic fermentation is made based on the specific vintage conditions. The estate emphasizes sustainable vineyard management and a philosophy of respecting the environment to achieve high-quality juice.
