Harvesting is done when the acid-sugar ratio of the berry is grape is optimal. The harvest is pressed immediately in a pneumatic press when it arrives in the cellar. Pinot Noir is not left to macerate so as not to extract too much color. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in vats, in an identical manner to the fermentation of a still wine. Then the foaming is carried out according to the traditional method. Finally, the bottles are disgorged and the traditional liqueur shipping is added.
