WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 Domaine Parent Monthelie Rouge is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, a method that allows for the expression of the grape's natural character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels. The proportion of new oak used varies, with 15-20% new oak for the standard bottling and less than 30% for the 1er Cru 'Les Champs Fuillots'. The estate is committed to biodynamic viticulture.
