| Aging Process | 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels of various capacities, ages and origins in order to smooth the impact of the wood as much as possible and allow a fair expression of the nuances of the appellation. No racking during aging and re-massing for 2 to 3 months before to clarify the wines as naturally as possible. |
| Fermentation | A cold pre-fermentation maceration phase allows the gentle extraction of tannins and aromas before the appearance of alcohol. Pigging and pumping over are decided on a case-by-case basis in order to obtain an optimal balance guaranteeing beautiful harmony. |

Interesting facts
| Elegant and floral Pinot Noir with fine tannins, class, and aging potential. The Clos de Vougeot is a 50-hectare vineyard with 82 owners, created in the 12th century by Benedictine monks at Citeaux. The vineyard has remained virtually unchanged since the 15th century when it was enclosed by a wall. Wines from the upper part of the Clos at 250 meters altitude are known to be more generous and complex. |
