ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Château Bouscassé Pinot Noir 2021 involves a pre-fermentation cold maceration period lasting three to four weeks. This is followed by fermentation at 25°C. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees in 60% new barrels, a process designed to enhance its structure and complexity.
