Production Details For the 2016–2017 perpetual-reserve release, the wine entered the cellar in June 2018. Grapes were hand harvested, lightly settled and vinified by parcel exclusively in tank, with natural alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation. The current importer profile additionally records sorting, traditional Coquard pressing with combined press fractions, pied-de-cuve initiation, full malolactic conversion in stainless steel, a small SO2 addition after pressing and another after disgorgement, and 25–30 ppm total SO2 at bottling. That current generic SO2 range is retained separately from the archive release’s measured 38 mg/L total SO2. Vineyard-age evidence also conflicts: the archive sheet says an average of 40 years, whereas the current importer says Bochot was planted in 2010 and notes that some massal material came from older co-planted estate vines.
