Bourgogne Chardonnay

Description :

Vineyard Site: Sustainable methods including selective pruning to optimize yield and vigour, along with drastic crown suckering, adapted leaf pulling, green harvest if needed, & plowing of the soils.
Vinification: The clusters of grapes arrive at the winery in small cases, and in air-conditioned trucks. They are sorted manually then pressed. They are put in barrels where the alcohol fermentation takes place, then malolactic fermentation. No stirring of the lees.
Aging: Maturing is done for 12 months in oak barrels with few new barrels. Large barrels of 600 l (demi muids) are used. Racking and fining ensue. Then 4 to 6 months in vats. No batonnage.
