WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Savigny-les-Beaune Vieilles Vignes involves meticulous vineyard work and a hands-off approach in the cellar. Grapes from old vines are hand-harvested and sorted before undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts, potentially after a cold pre-maceration. The wine is then aged in barrels for 10 to 15 months, with a limited proportion of new oak (10-25%). A key aspect of the winemaking is bottling without filtration, preserving the wine's natural character. The domaine's commitment to organic farming and minimal intervention underscores their philosophy of expressing the purity of the terroir.
