WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Chaliots begins with 100% destemmed Pinot Noir fruit. Fermentation occurs in cement vats with daily pumping over (remontage) to manage extraction. To achieve concentration, must concentration may be used, as chaptalization has been avoided since 1996. The wine then undergoes 18 months of aging in oak barrels, with about 30% new oak. Sustainable farming practices are a component of the domaine's approach.
