The Vincent D'Astrée Blanc de Noir Meunier 2014 is produced using 100% Pinot Meunier grapes. The primary fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with malolactic fermentation intentionally blocked to preserve acidity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of eight years in the producer's historic cellars. The 2014 vintage was characterized by a concentrated harvest due to favorable September weather conditions.
