Domaine de la Tournelle Terre de Gryphees Arbois Chardonnay

Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested in small baskets. Grapes are sorted by hand & undergo a direct, horizontal press. Only native yeast are used & the fruit is racked for twelve hours. A cool fermentation occurs in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Batonnage occurs every ten days for three months during certain vintages. The wine rests on the lees in old oak barrels for two years. The wine is bottled with a light filtration.
