WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Michel Gros emphasizes meticulous vineyard management and careful attention to detail. Grapes are fermented, with options for stainless steel or oak vats, to capture the essence of the Pinot Noir. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels, with a significant proportion of new oak (50-70%) contributing to its structure and complexity. Harvest is conducted at optimal ripeness to ensure balance. The estate employs sustainable farming practices throughout its viticulture.
