Vinification of the Les Cépages Pinot Noir Pays d'Oc from Baron Philippe de Rothschild

This balanced red wine from France is made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. In Languedoc, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow in soils of clay, sand, and limestone. After hand harvesting, the grapes are immediately transferred to the winery. Here, they are carefully sorted and gently crushed. Following this, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Les Cépages Pinot Noir Pays d'Oc can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
