Chardonnay (VGW) 2021
At the heart of the technique, in the hours after harvest, the grape must is exposed to a great deal of oxygen, which of course is contrary to how many in Burgundy and elsewhere handle Chardonnay today. In response to Burgundy’s battle with “premox” over the past quarter century, most winemakers handle Chardonnay with kid gloves, gently pneumatically pressing it and protecting it from oxygen by using nitrogen and sulfur.
