WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Santenay Blanc involves meticulous vineyard practices, including manual work from pruning to harvest, with a focus on soil health to express terroir. Grapes are carefully pressed, and the must is fermented in barrels, with a proportion of new oak used. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for about 12 months in barrels, then is stabilized in stainless steel vats for several months before bottling.
