Nicolas Potel Pinot Noir Vieilli en Fũt de Chẽne
France
Sourced from select vineyards across the Bourgogne appellation, the grapes benefit from varied soil compositions and microclimates, contributing to a wine of depth and character. Following fermentation, the wine is transferred to neutral oak barrels, where it matures for approximately 5 to 6 months. This aging process imparts subtle oak nuances without overshadowing the delicate fruit profile of the Pinot Noir.
