WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards on granite-rich soils. Vinification combines traditional Burgundian destemming with gentle extraction to preserve the bright fruit profile and elegant tannins of Gamay. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in a combination of stainless steel and older French oak barrels to add complexity without overpowering the delicate primary aromas.
