2019 Technical Specifications
Region Les Grands Epenots
Harvest Dates Estate red-wine picking ran from 9 to 14 September 2019; the exact Les Grands Epenots parcel date is not stated.
Production Details Across the domaine's 2019 reds, finished alcohol ranged from 13.3% to 14.1%. Whole clusters were approximately 25% for almost every cuvée, so the page does not prove that Les Grands Epenots was not an exception; new oak was approximately 25%. Vinification relied mainly on pump-overs, augmented by punch-downs near the end. The reported 21 hl/ha yield is estate-wide for reds, not parcel-specific.
