La Pepée is the first Pinot Noir of Jean-Baptiste Menigoz, sourced from two vineyards, one near La Mulatiere and the other near Les Bodines. The vines are planted in clay soils and are vinified using the same techniques as Tôt ou Tard. Élevage is a bit different, with half of the juice pressed into 600L barriques and the rest into stainless steel. He then adds a bit of $SO_2$ at bottling (the exact amount depends on the vintage).
