WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rottiers Beaujolais Village 2022 is produced using 100% Gamay grapes. The domaine employs organic viticulture, including practices like goblet pruning and herbal infusions for vine treatments. Harvest is conducted manually with careful bunch selection. Winemaking may involve CO2 maceration, a technique that can enhance fruit character. Aging typically occurs in large oak vats and partially in used French oak barrels for approximately six months, aiming to preserve the purity of the fruit and terroir expression.
