Philippe Charlopin Parizot Marsannay Les Echezots 2018 (1x75cl)

The vineyards are farmed à la lutte raisonée though there is some interest in moving to organic farming. Processing of the grapes is now a lot less interventionist than it was in Philippe’s early days when he was a devotee of lees stirring of red wines. Now he sees the fermentation/maceration process as more of an infusion, with a little punching down or pumping over depending on the vintage and cuvée. The grapes are now de-stemmed which used not to be the case.
