Fermentation is conducted using indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

This approach allows the wine to develop depth and complexity while preserving the delicate fruit characteristics inherent to Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2019 Bourgogne Les Bons Bâtons presents a vibrant ruby hue.
