Manual harvest for Moulin a Vent Vieilles Vignes Domaine Piron
This Moulin a Vent Vieilles Vignes is a wonderful accompaniment to cold appetizers and light meat dishes. The robust character of this red wine is due to the ideal location of the vineyards. The vineyard is located north of Beaujolais, in the commune of Chenas. The old vines benefit from a warm southeasterly exposure and are planted on exceptional soil composed of granite and manganese. The grapes are hand-picked to preserve their aroma. Partial destemming takes place at the sorting table. Fermentation takes place in several stages. The first stage is semi-carbonic fermentation, lasting several days. This is followed by Burgundian fermentation, in which the skins that rise to the surface are regularly immersed. This fermentation lasts a total of 18 to 20 days. Approximately half of the wine is then aged in French oak barrels. This gives the wine its roundness, elegance, and complexity.The complex yet fine taste of Moulin a Vent Vieilles Vignes
