Production Details The vintage-specific page lists neutral-barrel vinification and 18 months of élevage in neutral barrel. It also reports acidity of 5 g/L without identifying the acid-equivalent basis or explicitly calling it total acidity, so that measurement is retained here rather than entered as total_acidity_gl. The importer’s producer profile says all wines from vintage 2019 use the Méthode Fabrice Pouillon: 15% of pressed juice is held in steel until spring, the remainder ferments in neutral barrels with ambient yeast, and wine and grape juice are subsequently blended for secondary fermentation. The profile’s general 12-month method chronology and the release page’s 18-month élevage statement are not reconciled by the sources.
