Florent’s 0.3-hectare parcel was planted in 1972 on shallow clay-limestone soils over limestone bedrock, at an elevation of 290 meters with southeast exposure. This microclimate fosters the development of Pinot Noir grapes with balanced ripeness and acidity, contributing to the wine’s elegance and complexity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are harvested by hand and completely destemmed before a 20-day maceration, during which punching of the cap is performed once or twice daily. After a gentle press, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks and is later racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels, with 50% new oak, to enhance complexity without overshadowing the varietal character.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSpecific ABV information for the 2020 vintage is not readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2020 “Les Champs Fulliots” exhibits a vibrant ruby color.
