## Wine making process

Domaine Jean Fery Hautes-Côtes de Beaune La Come des Amoureuses 2022 is produced using whole cluster pressing, with the juice cold-settled for 24 hours before fermentation. Fermentation occurs in a combination of French oak barrels (80%) and amphora (20%) under temperature-controlled conditions. Lees are stirred twice monthly until malolactic fermentation is complete. Following aging, the wine is blended and rests for four months in stainless steel. Clarification is done with bentonite clay, followed by very light filtration before bottling.
