Virtual Sensory Session: Chaptalization

Matthieu Finot

May 2020

In 2019, Matthieu Finot did a series of experiments with chaptalization using Virginia fruit to explore the effects of this practice on the sensory qualities of the finished wine. During this sensory session, Virginia winemakers tasted the experiment results blind, scored them for sensory qualities, and discussed the implications of the findings on winemaking in the cellar.
