Winemaking Notes

Grapes are hand-harvested from select vineyards throughout Burgundy, with careful attention to maintaining acidity and freshness. After gentle pressing, primary fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following blending, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle according to the traditional method, with extended aging on lees before disgorgement and dosage adjustment.
