WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Domaine Roux is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Following hand-harvesting at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine, specifically one-third, is then aged in barriques for 10 months, while the remaining two-thirds are aged in steel tanks. This dual aging strategy aims to balance fruit purity with subtle complexity. The domaine employs sustainable farming practices, with some vineyards holding organic certification, reflecting their commitment to environmental stewardship.
