Palate
The wonderful berry and earth/spice character is mouth-filling.
Growing Conditions
The farming protocol at Lala Panzi remains the same: stringent canopy management, organic farming, manual tilling and weed control, micro-management of ripening assessment, and ultimately a quick, early morning harvest at the best possible balance.
Bottling
Bottled unfiltered. The textural, letter-pressed labels are individually numbered and applied by hand.
Winemaking
The 2012 Pinot Noir is a result of the growing conditions extant at Lala Panzi, and careful harvest decisions made by the viticultural team. The wine underwent a 14 day fermentation and was aged in predominately new Allier and Vosges forest wood,coopered by Francois Freres of St. Romain. The wine was racked once after malo-lactic fermentation.
