2022 Francis Lechauve Hautes Cotes De Beaune Blanc L'eveil Des Sens
| Description: | For the whites, all the wines are vinified in the same way. Really the difference comes from the terroir and the uniqueness of the appellations. The Vineyard: There is no herbicide used. Average age of vines is 50 years. Mr. Lechauve works the domaine's 8 hectares himself, doing the tractor work himself. As is tradition, Mr. Lechauve does not prune until after the St. Vincent that is after January 25th. Harvest: 100% hand harvested Vinification: All the grapes are sorted at the winery, and then the grapes go directly into the pressoir. After, they rest for 24 hours and "deborbage" – clarifying. Once the unwanted lees are removed the clear juice goes into oak where it ferments (natural/indegenious yeasts). The fermentation takes place in barrel and could last anywhere from 1 to 3 months or more. 100% oak, with 30% new oak for 13 months. |
