WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Marquis d'Angerville's Volnay Premier Cru Fremiet begins with biodynamically farmed grapes. In the cellar, all grapes are de-stemmed, and fermentation occurs without pigeage, a traditional technique that promotes gentle extraction. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 12 to 18 months, predominantly in used oak barrels, with a minimal proportion of new oak (10-15%) to preserve the purity of the fruit and terroir expression. The 2022 harvest was conducted early due to warm conditions, with careful attention paid to selecting the optimal picking date to ensure balance in the final wine.
