Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Domaine Arlaud - 2022

Viticulture

Since 2004, the entire estate has been organically farmed. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and, at the entrance to the cellar, there are two sorting tables (one vibrating and one manual). Three-quarters of the vines are around 30 years old. Only one plot is not located in the historic heart of the Clos but in the Monchamp section (the lowest part of the Clos).

Oenology

The grapes are destemmed but not crushed. The harvest is then cooled, then allowed to slowly warm up again, and fermentation begins after 5 to 10 days. The vatting period is quite long (around 20 days). The wine is aged in oak barrels, 60% of which are new.
