Production Details The 2021 wine was fermented in open vats and matured in wooden barrels for 10–15 months. The same catalogue describes the domaine’s red-wine method as sorting and destemming, approximately 10–15 days of alcoholic fermentation, punch-downs when required, pump-overs depending on the vintage, pressing, several further days resting in open barrels, and then barrel maturation. Its producer-wide profile reports approximately 15–30% new barrels depending on the vintage, no bentonite or other fining agents, and generally only very light filtration; it does not resolve the exact new-oak percentage or filtration level for this 2021 wine.
