Winemaking 101: Pigeage (punchdowns) with Eric Texier
Winemaker Eric Texier talks about the technique of punching down the cap of grapes that settles on top of the juice as wine ferments. Originally a way to avoid the development of volatile acidity, it became a technique for extracting color and tannin. Now Texier feels it has become overused and a tool of "modern" winemaking.
