the hat of the marc is abundantly splashed


Explanation:
as in this example...

Wines are pumped over twice a day. Each time, the must is cooled to 77°F and the hat of marc is abundantly splashed to extract the aromas, the tannins and the color.
The fermentation in vats goes for one week minimum and often 15 days.

We are talking about the process to make a "marc de bourgogne" or "marc de gascogne".

disagree  Alexandra Hague: I'm fairly sure this refers to the process of making red wine and not making "marc" or eau de vie.

  -> You are probably right, Alexandra. I do not mind. A Marc de Gascogne, BTW, works very well for flambéing crêpes -- of course you should first heat it gently.
disagree  John Garside: I hate to say it Steven but the website you refer is one of the poorest translations I have seen recently.

  -> I agree, John, but judging from some of the wrong answers people pick on this forum, it is probably par for the course --- this is also why I do not do "proofreading" !
