Production Details The vines were planted in 1983 at 62–180 m in a roughly 0.4 ha Barzy-sur-Marne parcel whose elevation changes by nearly 120 m. The wine was matured for 11 months in wooden barrels, without chaptalization; bâtonnage followed the lunar cycle. The sheet says its period before disgorgement is longer than La Capella's but gives no exact duration.
