WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Petite Perrière Pinot Noir is produced using grapes from Saget family vineyards and the South of France. The winemaking process involves a three-day low-temperature maceration followed by fermentation at a controlled 26°C in specialized vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden vats. The wine undergoes a six-month aging period, primarily in stainless steel, with some indications of a brief period in used French oak barrels. It is clarified but not filtered.
