Lees
Intermediate Winemaking & ViticultureОпределение
Dead yeast cells and grape solids that settle after fermentation.
Подробнее
Gross lees (heavy sediment) are separated quickly. Fine lees (spent yeast) are valuable — wines aged on fine lees develop richness, creaminess, and complexity through autolysis. Muscadet Sur Lie, Champagne en tirage, and premium Chardonnay all benefit from extended lees contact. Bâtonnage stirs fine lees for enhanced effect.
