The Chauvenet family have been making wine in Burgundy since 1680.
For this beautiful wine the grapes are harvested from 55 year old vines which are planted over different soil types - this adds to the complexity of the final wine.
The grapes undergo a cold soak for 5-6 days prior to the start of fermentation. The wine is fermented at a relative high temperature and there are punch-downs two times a day to maximise the extraction of flavour compounds from the grapes skins.
The wine is transferred to oak barrels (of which 15% are new) for 18 months. No filtration means that the wine retains all of its flavour compounds.
Enjoy now or in a few years time.
