WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Léon Beyer Pinot Noir 2018 is produced using traditional methods. Grapes are typically hand-harvested and then undergo vinification in large wooden vats, known as foudres. Controlled maceration periods are employed to manage extraction. The winery's philosophy emphasizes producing dry, food-friendly wines that showcase the varietal and regional character.
