WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Saint-Joseph La Croix de la Perrière 2021 involves destemming the grapes before fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration with the skins is employed to extract color, tannins, and aromas. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging, which can include time in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the producer's style. Harvests are conducted manually to ensure grape quality. Maison Johanès Boubée, as a négociant, oversees these processes with a focus on responsible trade and environmental considerations.
