## Wine making process

Domaine Trouillet's Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Chailloux 2022 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process begins with manual harvests. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures (10-12°C) to maintain aromatic purity, with vinification conducted without sulfur. The wine is then aged for 10 months on fine lees, with a portion matured in French oak barrels, including 30% new oak.
