WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vouvray Le Peu Morier begins with manual harvesting of the Chenin Blanc grapes. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, employing indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes aging for 10-12 months in 400-liter oak barrels, with a small percentage of new oak, and is subsequently transferred to tanks for further maturation. This approach emphasizes natural processes and minimal intervention to express the grape and terroir.
