Wines
Summary
Louis Chenu Père & Filles is a family winery in Savigny-les-Beaune, Burgundy that has been working the vines and producing wine for five generations now. The first parcels of vineyard were bought by Louis Chenu in 1914 and are today worked by his great grandson Louis Chenu with the help of his wife and daughters.
Both production and vineyard upkeep is done by the family. Harvest is done by hand and takes approximately a week. The winemaking process follows a traditional path: the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, cold-macerated for a few days then trodden down on a daily basis. The process of fermentation is carried out naturally at low temperatures. After a period of 2 weeks in vats, the wines are brought to the cellar and aged over 18 months. Whenever possible, the red wines are not filtered.
