The production of L'Authentic Jacques Chaput

Made from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, this cuvée comes from the clay-limestone soils of the Kimmeridgian terroir in Arrentières, in the Aube region. The grapes are partially vinified in oak barrels, which gives the wine depth and elegance. The blend is based on the 2011 and 2012 vintages, bottled in 2013. Fermentation is followed by a long aging process on slats for 11 years, well beyond the appellation standards. The dosage is 6.5 g/L (MCR), perfectly integrated to reveal the wine's richness without masking its freshness.
