Domaine Faiveley Bienvenues Batard Montrachet 2017

The hand-picked harvest goes through a short prefermentary maceration first, before being vinified in part in wooden tronconic vats. The wine is then matured in oak barrels for 14-16 months, in nineteenth century vaulted cellars which provide ideal conditions for raising wines. The proportion of new oak, which is susceptible to variations according to the vintage, represents on average two thirds of the cuvée.

The barrels, which come from high quality barrel makers, have been rigorously selected for their fine grain and light toast.
