WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Abbotts & Delaunay Métayage Pinot Noir 2022 is produced using grapes sourced from high-altitude vineyards. Vinification involves partial fermentation in concrete tanks and partial in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period of 2-3 weeks. Temperatures are monitored during fermentation, especially during warmer periods, to maintain balance. The wine undergoes aging partly in concrete vats and partly in wooden barrels, with oak integration focused on complementing the fruit. Grapes are harvested in the morning to preserve freshness.
