WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Fine Fleur begins with hand-picked Pinot Noir grapes, which are whole bunch pressed. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted at 18°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine is then aged on laths in traditional cellars for a minimum of 36 months on its lees before dosage. The dosage is typically between 6-9 grams of sugar per liter.
