## Wine making process

The winemaking process for Savigny-les-Beaune Les Goudelettes begins with hand-harvested and meticulously selected Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation occurs over an extended period in wooden vats, employing regular punching down and temperature control to manage extraction. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 15 months in oak barrels, with a portion (around 15%) being new oak. This approach is guided by the estate's philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for the vineyard's terroir.
