WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Charbonnières 2022 begins with hand-harvested grapes. Fifty percent of the grapes are destemmed, and fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 12 months in French oak barrels, with an additional 8 months on the lees. The oak used is toasted at low temperatures to impart subtle oak characteristics, with a variable proportion of new oak employed.
