WINE MAKING PROCESS
Brumaire Novembre 2013 is produced using 100% Petit Manseng grapes harvested late in November. The winemaking process involves fermentation in new oak barrels at approximately 18°C, with fermentation halted by cooling to achieve the desired sweetness. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees in new barrels for 8 to 12 months. Alain Brumont's approach focuses on highlighting the specific characteristics of the grape and the Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh terroir.
