WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marrenon Les Grains Pinot Noir is produced using traditional vinification methods. The grapes undergo a short vatting period of 15 days, with gentle management of the pomace cap. Following fermentation, 15% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, contributing to its nuanced profile. The harvest takes place between mid-September and the end of October. Marrenon's approach is guided by a philosophy of expressing the terroir and respecting the natural environment.
