The vineyards are on sandy and loess soils, contributing to the wine's elegance and minerality. The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring optimal ripeness and quality. Winemaker Romain Zordan employs traditional methods, including a maceration period of 10 to 15 days in temperature-controlled tanks, followed by 10 months of aging on fine lees in concrete tanks. This minimal-intervention approach, with no added sulfites, allows the wine to express the pure characteristics of the Gamay grape and its terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Grand Pré","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34847973441688,"sku":"grandpre-buvons","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/chateau-de-grand-pre-bouvons-pour-des-idees-fleurie-natural-wine-primal-wine_4b4e0295-7f0e-4178-b72e-b0f85a53b473.jpg?v=1780286069"},{"product_id":"bourgogne-blanc-chateau-de-grand-pre-burgundy-natural-wine","title":"Château de Grand Pré Bourgogne Blanc NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau de Grand Pré's Bourgogne Blanc is 100% Chardonnay sourced from clay and limestone soils in the Beaujolais region. Winemaker Romain Zordan deliberately sources Chardonnay from these limestone parcels rather than the estate's own granite-dominated Fleurie vineyards, which he considers better suited to Gamay. The grapes are hand-harvested with sorting both in the vineyard and cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification follows a non-interventionist approach: fermentation with native yeasts only, no added yeasts, no fining, and no filtering.
