Production Details Most selected plots were being converted to organic viticulture. Grapes were hand-picked into small containers and gravity-fed to the presses without pumping or other handling. After several hours of settling, the must fermented at 18–24°C in vats; around 30% fermented in six to ten Burgundy barrels to add body without an oaky character. One racking before winter permitted natural clarification without artificial cold treatment. The wine was lightly filtered in spring, bottled under DIAM, and cellared before release.
