WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Clos Galerne Moulin Brûlé 2020 is produced using Chenin Blanc grapes. Fermentation is carried out naturally, either in stainless steel or large, old oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees and malolactic conversion. The grapes are harvested manually to ensure optimal ripeness. The estate is in the process of converting to organic viticulture.
