2024 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties Chardonnay
Region Hautes Cotes de Beaune
Production Details The exact 2024 page provides only a producer-level method, not a cuvée-specific specification: pressing precedes indigenous-yeast fermentation and naturally occurring malolactic fermentation; wines mature in barrel with 20–50% new oak depending on vintage and cuvée, receive no bâtonnage, settle for a few months in stainless steel, and are bottled without fining or filtration. The page also says the 2024 wines received an additional winter of maturation and were still in barrel in early 2026; neither statement establishes an exact duration for this cuvée.
