ORIGIN
The area which constitutes the Bourgogne appellation spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône et Loire, and Rhône departments. Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs.
VINIFICATION AND MATURING
The grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing the grapes, a fining and cold settling of 48 hours at 8°-10°C is applied.
A racking is then occurred to separate the clear juice from the bad lies. The wine is then placed into thermo-regular stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation at low temperature (16° to 18°C. / 60-64°F.).
Maturing process takes place on barrels (20% of the total blend on oak: 50% new barrels) and on stainless steel tank (80% on goods finest lies).
