"par des opérations de pigeage et de remontage nous favorisons l’extraction des tanins et de la couleur"
from research, it's a kind of dipping or soaking, but I'm stuck for the correct wine-speak term in EN.

Comment: "Many thanks Mark. I think the solitude of your answer demonstrates that there is not in fact a single EN jargon term.
In fact for the current translation (for a general audience), for both this and "remontage", I retained the FR term with a brief explanation.
Thanks for the links too, they're a useful resource."
