Vineyard:
The Beaux Frères Vineyard
Wine Notes:
Comprised from 100% whole-cluster fermented Coury and Pommard clone Pinot Noir from Beaux Frères’ oldest own-rooted blocks. After just two gentle foulage treatments (foot treading) by winemaker Damien Lapuyade, this vat was barely touched, preserved under a veil of CO₂ with one bucket-wetting of the cap per day. The vat used (in total only 12 days in tank) was a new Oregon white oak tank fashioned by McMinnville’s own Rick DeFerrari (one of the only artisanal coopers in the US) from two trees that were harvested at Doration vineyard and air dried on the estate for four years.
Aging:
10-12 months in barrel
