The transfer into 30 to 70 hl wooden vats is carried out by gravity, followed by low-temperature pre-fermentation maceration (8°C) and entirely manual pump-overs over a 30-day maceration period. The wine is drained directly into French oak barriques and foudres by gravity, with malolactic fermentation in barriques, two-thirds of which are new. Aging lasts 18 months, split between barriques (90%) and foudres (10%) of French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Pape Clément","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65205651374457,"sku":"21007019","price":108.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/5674\/7385\/files\/21007019-chateau-pape-clement-2019-pessac-leognan-grand-cru-classe-rouge.jpg?v=1794433669","url":"https:\/\/www.directcave.fr\/en\/products\/chateau-pape-clement-pessac-leognan-gcc-aop-2019","provider":"DirectCave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
