WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Les Jamelles Pinot Noir begins with a cold maceration, typically lasting about a week, to extract color and aroma. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, a technique that helps to preserve the wine's vibrant fruit character. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging. A significant portion, around 75%, is matured in stainless steel tanks to maintain its freshness. The remaining 25% is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 9 months, a process that contributes to the wine's complexity and texture.
