WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Pierres Sauvages begins with the direct pressing of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir grapes, which are then blended. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, with 50% of the wine maturing in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% in large neutral oak casks (foudres). Following fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months on its lees in these vessels, contributing to its texture and complexity.
