Fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, without any external intervention that could alter the aromatic characteristics. The process then continues with eight months of ageing on fine lees in used \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that promotes structural harmony and roundness without marking the aromatic profile with intrusive woody notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Savennières Les Vieux Clos 2024 represents a true journey through time, originating from a historic Loire vineyard founded by Cistercian monks around 1130.
