Winemaking Information
Fermentation and aging can occur in different vessels each vintage depending on the global quantities. 2500L foudres and 228L barrels tend to be used on this cuvée, including enamel lined tanks in generous vintages. Each parcel is vinified individually. Long alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aged 11 months on the lees without racking or cold stabilization. The wine is normally bottled without filtration but may go through a light, non sterile one if deemed necessary.
SO2: At bottling
Fining/Filtration: Unfined/Unfiltered

Fun Facts: L' Humeur du Temps roughly translates to "The Mood of the Times" but is a double entrendre that also could mean "The Mood of the Weather". The idea with this cuvée is to capture a global snapshot of the vintage versus the nuance of a single vineyard bottling. In such, the wine comes from four parcels that are vinified separately then blended: Côte de l' Etang, Les Envers de Côte Chétif, Les Goulots de Jouan. Other fun fact: Olivier drew the label himself!
