Bouchard Ainé & Fils, Heritage du Conseiller, Pinot Noir, Pays, France 2022

This Pinot Noir from the Pays d’Oc region is vinified in the traditional Burgundy method; de-stemming and crushing followed by cold maceration and a two week fermentation period in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Part of the juice is then aged in Burgundy barrels using only French oak, the rest kept in the tank. The winemaker then creates the best blend of both juices while respecting the rich Pinot Noir fruit.
