The ripeness of the grapes for this Pinot Noir wine is heavily influenced by the climate of the growing region. In Burgundy, the grapes thrive in a warm climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a relatively high must weight. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There, they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation for several months in French oak barrels.
