WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Parent employs a meticulous winemaking process for their Pommard Premier Cru Les Epenots. Following a manual harvest and rigorous sorting, the grapes undergo a cold soak maceration for three to five days. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats with daily punch downs and pump overs over an 18 to 20-day period, utilizing 40% whole bunches. The wine is then aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, with 50% new oak, before bottling.
