Method of Production

This wine is produced only in favorable years using exclusively 100% Pinot Noir grapes, harvested in 18 kg boxes and subjected only to the first pressing. The wine ages on the fine lees until bottling. After the bottles have been stacked, they remain in contact with the lees until the “remouage” phase. Subsequently, they are disgorged and dosed with the same wine.

Alcohol content

12.5%
