In early October, the Pinot Meunier was hand-harvested, lightly foot trod and pressed with stems into neutral oak barrel. It completed primary fermentation in 4 weeks (native yeast only). At this time, freshly-pressed, direct press Pinot Meunier was added as liqueur de tirage during bottling. The wine was then bottle-aged for 5.5 months on the lees before it was disgorged by hand in mid-April. Unfined, unfiltered, unsulfured.
