WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Puligny-Montrachet begins with hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes, transported in small crates. The grapes undergo gentle pressing before fermentation in oak barrels, with approximately one-third of the barrels being new. Malolactic fermentation is carefully controlled. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 15 months (or 15-18 months) in French oak barrels, maturing on its fine lees. Louis Jadot is also engaged in organic conversion for its Domaine vineyards.
