WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Edouard Delaunay Pommard Premier Cru Chaponnières 2019 begins with hand-harvested grapes that undergo meticulous sorting. Thirty percent of the harvest is vinified as whole bunches. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts over a maceration period of 20-24 days, utilizing pump-overs and punch-downs. The wine is then aged for 15-17 months in oak barrels, with 30-38% being new oak from Central France forests.
