VINIFICATION & AGEING
Grapes were hand picked on September 15th from selected old vine parcels in the southern Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. They were lightly pressed and cold settled in tanks before fermentation occurred spontaneously using indigenous yeast and minimal intervention. Malolactic fermentation followed before light barrel ageing (10% new oak) without lees steering. The wine was lightly fined and filtered before bottling on September 2nd.
