Production Details For the 2019 release, élevage reached up to 18 months in 228 L barrels. A vintage-specific vendor specification describes pneumatic pressing using one of two estate presses with different levels of oxygen protection, stainless-steel fermentation with indigenous yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation and no filtration. The same vendor recommends serving at 6–8°C. The producer’s enduring technical specification gives the broader Heurtebise cask-aging range as 9–18 months.
