    In a few words ...

    This wine is named after the "Solaire" parcel, a 17-year-old vineyard capable of producing top-quality Pinot Noir. The grapes were crushed and 75% de-stemmed, keeping 25% whole, then fermented in open vats, allowing for punching of the cap. Cold prefermentation maceration for 3 to 4 days, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation (23-25°C) with a peak of 29°C for one day. 2 or 3 pump-overs at the start of fermentation and 2 cap punchings at the end. Total maceration time: 17 days. Pressing in a small press. Complete malolactic fermentation. Aged for 9 months in 1-3 year-old oak barrels. Bottling in July.
