WINE MAKING PROCESS
Jérôme Arnoux Tradition Blanc is produced using a blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The Chardonnay component is aged in foudre (large oak vats). The Savagnin component undergoes a partial oxidative aging process in un-topped barrels under a flor, a technique characteristic of the Jura region. This method contributes a unique oxidative character to the wine. Harvests are managed with strict guidelines to ensure grape quality. The producer employs sustainable vineyard management practices, avoiding pesticides.
