| Vinification |
Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks and indigenous yeasts are used, it takes place under controlled temperatures. Joseph Drouhin seeks total control of the process of extraction; extraction gives colour and substance but should never be at the expense of the finesse and typical character of the wine. "Pigeage" (punching down of the cap during fermentation): once a day until half of fermentation is done; one pumping over ("remontage") per day till the end of the fermentation. Pressing: vertical press; separation of free run juice from pressed juice. Type: in barrels (20% in new oak). Length: 14 to 18 months. Origin of the wood: French oak forests. |
