Production Details The release used fruit from 31 hectares in seven municipalities, on steep costers at 350–640 m with varied exposures. Vines were 24–96 years old and trained as bush vines or Cordon Royat; the vineyards were not irrigated and had no green harvest. Harvesting was selective by municipality and parcel. Fruit was partly whole and partly destemmed/crushed. The wine matured for 12 months in barrels and bocoyes and received no cold stabilization. The analysis also reports total acidity of 4.6 g/L without identifying the acid-equivalent basis, volatile acidity of 0.58 g/L and dry extract of 30.7 g/L. The sheet recommends storage at no more than 12°C and describes optimal consumption as beginning in the fifth year after bottling.
