House: Lupé-Cholet Region: Burgundy Appellation: Aloxe-Corton AOP Cru: Villages Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually in harvest crates that are transported to the vat room as quickly as possible to avoid overheating, rain and crushing of the berries. The contents of the crates are passed on a sorting table to remove leaves, green grapes (verjuice)... Depending on the vintage, 85 to 100% of the harvest is destemmed to avoid excessive bitterness due to the tannins in the stalks. The fermentation maceration then lasts 15 to 20 days in conical oak vats containing temperature-controlled radiators. This allows the fermentation temperatures to be controlled, which directly influences the extraction of aromas and color. Finally, gentle pressing highlights the nobility and elegance of the wine. Aging
Entonnage in oak barrels for 16 months with 20 to 40% new barrels, and a choice of wood from various sources: forests of Tronçais, Nevers, Vosges, Burgundy.
Aging in new barrels brings the aromas and tannins of the oak staves and also - thanks to the porosity of the wood - a controlled oxygenation which allows a good maturation of the wine. During the aging, the wine is stirred (resuspension of the fine lees) to bring fat and roundness. It is drawn off before bottling, which is done without fining and with a light filtration, thus preserving the natural richness of the appellation Vintage: 2017 Color: Red Capacity: 750ml Grape variety: Pinot Noir 100% Packaging: Carton Alcohol: 13 Advice:
