WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Savennières Les Deux LL 2022 is produced from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes harvested manually, as required by the appellation. The winemaking process typically involves aging in barrels for approximately one year, which aids in developing concentration and flavor complexity. Fermentation is often conducted in these barrels, allowing for a gradual integration of oak characteristics. The appellation specifications permit dry, demi-sec, and sweet styles, though dry wines have been predominant since 2015.
