What is the winemaking method used by Domaine Raveneau to produce its Chablis wines?
The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, which is rare in Chablis. After pressing, fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in feuillettes, the traditional 132-litre Chablis barrels, averaging seven to eight years old, for 12 to 15 months. The absence of new wood preserves the mineral purity characteristic of the wines from Domaine Raveneau.
