WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine de la Vougeraie vinifies its Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes using traditional methods with a focus on natural processes. Fermentation takes place in open vats with ambient wild yeasts, potentially preceded by cold maceration. This is followed by a period of fermentation with daily punch-downs. All wines undergo 100% malolactic fermentation. Aging occurs for 10-12 months in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak and light toast. The domaine adheres to organic and biodynamic farming principles throughout its viticulture.
