WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Barraud ages its Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru for 11 months in oak. After this period, the wine is transferred to stainless steel. Village-level wines are typically bottled before the following year's harvest, while Premier Cru bottlings occur in November. This process aims to develop the wine's character and integrate its components.
