## Wine making process

The winemaking process at Domaine François Lumpp begins with meticulous vineyard practices, including low yields and manual harvesting with sorting. Fermentation of the 100% Pinot Noir grapes typically occurs in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, with techniques like cool maceration and gentle infusion employed. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for around 12 months in French oak barrels, with the percentage of new oak carefully managed. The domaine's approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself.
