DOMAINE BENOIT CHEVALLIER
Benoit Chevallier



His winemaking style is traditional. All fruits being hand-harvested, first sorting is done in the vineyard, and second sorting is done in the cellar on a sorting table. Only the healthiest are kept and fully destemmed. Fermentation is done in concrete vats, best to keep the wine temperature stable throughout.
Benoit does minimal pigeage (punch down) and prefers remontage (pump-over) to avoid the extraction of rough tannins. Pressing is done using a vertical basket press, best way for Benoit to be accurate as he consistently tastes the wine during pressing to avoid unwanted bitterness.
The wine will age for approximately 18 months in oak barrel with minimal use of new oak. Then wines are racked and adjusted with a minimal dose of SO2 before bottling.
