Vinification of the Dry Blanc de Noir by Dr. Koehler

The winemaking process begins in the vineyard, where Pinot Noir grapes thrive under controlled biodynamic management. The fresh climate and calcareous soils ensure optimal grape quality. The harvest is carried out gently by hand to guarantee perfect physiological ripeness and to select the best grapes. After harvest, the grapes are immediately carefully destemmed and pressed to avoid maximum color extraction. The vinification relies on cold grape maceration to preserve the fresh fruit aromas. The must ages in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with fermentation always carried out at a controlled temperature. This base emphasizes the wine’s fruity freshness and preserves its fine acidity. The maturation of the Dry Blanc de Noir by Dr. Koehler lasts several months, during which the wine is aged on fine lees. This imparts a gentle creaminess and deeper complexity. Bottled storage occurs at consistent temperatures to maintain freshness and vitality. The overall extract, mineralité, and aromatic richness reflect the careful vinification. The clear goal: to create a delicate, lively wine that impresses with its elegance and freshness.
