Vinification
Discover old cellars
In Burgundy, the wine is aged in oak barrels called « pièces » with a capacity of 228 litres.
Every wine undergoes a maturation phase.
This stage, between winemaking and bottling, has a direct impact on how the wine ages and therefore on the quality of the end product as it adds the finishing touches to a wine’s aromas.
It can last up to 24 months for red Burgundy.
Some vaulted cellars dates from the 12th century with rounded arches and roofs and are still visible!
Tour with us for a deep approach of Bourgogne wine making.
