Production Details Matured for 10 years: five years in oak, comprising about 1.5 years in barrels and about 3.5 years in oak vats, followed by five years in bottle. Vineyard specifications were 210 ha, 2,222 vines/ha and 700–900 m elevation. Millésima's reproduction of the Robert Parker Wine Advocate note additionally says the grapes were chilled for one day, bunch-selected and fermented with a pied de cuve; it reports '4.8 grams of acidity' without specifying denominator or acid-equivalent basis, so that figure is not proposed as total_acidity_gl.
