WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Savigny-les-Beaune Clos Guettes 2020 begins with hand-harvested grapes, collected in small baskets to preserve their integrity. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing before fermentation commences in oak barrels from Maison Louis Jadot's own cooperage. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak, with one-third of the barrels being new. This process is guided by Jadot's philosophy of minimal intervention, focusing on expressing the distinct character of the Clos Guettes vineyard and the Savigny-lès-Beaune terroir.
