2018 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 13.5%
Grape Varieties 100% Pinot Noir
Classification Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru AOC/AOP
Region Les Chaffots
Production Details At the producer-hosted 2018 barrel tasting, the Pinot Noirs remained in barrel, unracked and without added sulfur. Saouma reported interrupting malolactic conversion to prolong fermentation and slow maturation, while retaining about 6 L of lees per barrel. Across the purchased parcels, harvest began August 20 and the last picking occurred September 18 because ripening was uneven; these dates describe the producer's 2018 range, not Les Chaffots-specific picking dates.
