WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Beaune Premier Cru involves destemming the Pinot Noir grapes, followed by an approximately four-week maceration period in open vats to express the terroir. The wine then undergoes aging in oak barrels for 18 months, with a portion of new oak used to enhance complexity. This approach aims to capture the distinct characteristics of the vineyard and the vintage.
