WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Bouchard Aîné & Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023 begins with destemming the 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats over 18 to 25 days, utilizing regular punching down and pumping over for extraction. Free-run juice is then combined with press juice. The wine is aged for six months, primarily in stainless steel vats, with a portion also maturing in oak barrels, including 30% new oak, to refine tannins and add complexity.
