Vinification of the Pierre Jean Merlot by Yvon Mau

The balanced Pierre Jean Merlot from France is a varietal wine, vinified from the Merlot grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Languedoc-Roussillon. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of sand and limestone. The wine grapes for this red wine from France are harvested particularly quickly and at the coolest possible time of day when they are perfectly ripe, to preserve their freshness. After hand-picking, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is matured for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
