Production Details House-wide method, expressly adjusted to each vintage: the wine is aged by Lucien Le Moine from press to bottling in Jupilles oak, on 100% of its lees without racking. Gentle batonnage is generally performed three to four times monthly, although the producer notes that some vintages receive none and others receive weekly stirring. Malolactic fermentation is delayed by the cool, humid cellar; bottling is by gravity after a full moon. Natural CO2 remains in bottle, and the producer directs that all wines be decanted. The 2024 Martel release sheet additionally describes approximately two years of lees maturation; this approximate duration is not converted to days.
