Production Details The wine was raised in older Burgundy barrels and spent 48 months on its lees; the duration is retained in months rather than converted to days. The Robert Parker Wine Advocate December 2023 note reproduced by D&M describes its reviewed bottle as disgorged in 2023 with 2 g/L dosage, so that bottle-specific observation is not generalized into a vintage-wide disgorgement date. D&M’s own description calls the parcel 0.5 ha, while its reproduced critic note calls it 0.4 ha; both describe the walled Vertus parcel planted in 1956.
