WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Cuvée Margot 2022 is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes that are hand-harvested and 100% destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in open vats for 15-20 days, with some vintages utilizing cold maceration. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks. The wine is subsequently aged in French oak barrels for 16 months, with an additional 5 months in stainless steel tanks. Oak usage varies, typically involving a significant proportion of oak, with a portion of new oak.
