Jerome Fornerot Santenay Les Charmes 2023

100% Pinot Noir

The grapes come from three parcels totaling .5 hectare that were planted from 1960 to 2000 on the southwest side of the village

Deep and well-draining red clay marls

Vinification

After being handpicked, the harvest is sorted and fully destemmed. It is then vatted for maceration and fermentation for approximately 15 to 20 days. The process of pressing is carried out by pneumatic presses that press the grapes slowly and gently. The juice is then allowed to settle and placed by gravity in French oak barrels

Maturation

12 months (15 to 20% of new oak barrels). After aging, the wine is placed in vats for 6 months and is bottled at the estate.
