This Pinot Noir comes from vines over 35 years old, planted in the Trouillots terroir on decalcified clay soils (Lias). Organically farmed since 2014, it is hand-harvested and carefully vinified: whole-cluster maceration in stainless steel tanks for 15 days, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and barrels. Unfiltered and with no added sulfites!
It’s a good idea to decant the wine a little in advance to allow any carbon dioxide to escape, if necessary.
