## Wine making process

The winemaking process for this Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy begins with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, maintained between 18°C and 20°C to preserve freshness. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation in temperature-controlled tanks, with the possibility of partial aging in oak barrels for certain bottlings. Domaine Verret adheres to 'Agriculture Raisonnée,' a form of sustainable agriculture, reflecting their commitment to a natural approach that balances tradition and modernity in their winemaking.
