Professor Dr. Ulrich Fischer, Germany

UTILIZING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF PINOT NOIR: Optimum extraction and polymerisation of anthocyanins and tannins. There are few grape varieties that vary so much de-pending on climate, vintage or clone as does Pinot Noir. That makes it all the more important to implement an intelligent strategy, based on grape composition, with regard to extraction and fermentation on the skins. Scientists are experimenting worldwide, and even the Burgundian oenology of Pinot Noir is questioned officially. This lecture presents the latest research results, including those related to colour and taste stabilization of Pinot Noir, as evidenced by a tasting of interesting experi-mental wines.

COMPARATIVE TASTING
