WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pascal Jolivet Attitude Pinot Noir 2023 is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes that are manually harvested. The grapes are destemmed, and maceration lasts for a minimum of fifteen days, with gentle pumping over to enhance fruit subtlety and integrate tannins. Fermentation is carried out using wild yeasts in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, ten percent of the wine is aged in new oak barrels, while the remaining ninety percent matures in stainless steel vats for approximately seven months.
