The making of the wines :
Vinification of the Great Red Wines
After being sorted, the grapes are partially
or totally separated from the stems and put into small vats
where they will macerate for 12 to 20 days according to the
year and their origin.
During this time, the alcoholic fermentation will transform
the juice into wine and enable the colour to come out of the
skin (the Pinot Noir is a grape with white juice which becomes
red in contact with the skin).
The must is then pressed, gently, to avoid splitting the pips
which would release harsh tannins into the wine, then it is
racked to remove the sediment. The wines are then poured into
oak casks to be carefully aged for a long period of months.
