Prima Nature chardonnay 2024 Lot 6 bouteilles 75cl

The work begins in the vineyard with a precise and meticulous selection of the plots best suited to producing this type of wine (90% of the final result stems from this precision work): the sanitary condition must be perfect, the foliage must be healthy, fresh and dense, and the grapes must have an optimal level of ripeness. Indeed, the harvesting window is very narrow, as the acid/sugar balance is paramount for this category of wine. The winemaking process is highly complex given that we use neither sulphur nor oenological inputs. The grapes are immediately pressed and cold-settled to encourage natural stabilisation of the oxidisable compounds in the must through precipitation. The alcoholic fermentation then proceeds rapidly under a neutralised atmosphere. Fermentation temperatures are regulated at 18°C. The wine is clarified by racking before malolactic fermentation, then racked again and kept cold. Bottling takes place fairly early in the year to preserve the aromatic expression. Ageing takes place in the bottle.
