WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marsannay Rouge Cuvée Saint-Urbain is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Approximately 33% whole bunches are included during fermentation, which takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks over about 15 days. Extraction is managed through moderate punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine undergoes aging for approximately 12 months in 600-liter demi-muid barrels, with 15% new oak, followed by a further 5 months in stainless steel tanks. Farming practices are organic, with manual harvests.
