Production Details Hand-harvested and whole-bunch pneumatically pressed for 5–8 hours; the official release page specifies approximately 7 hours and natural settling. Fermentation is spontaneous, without added enzymes, selected yeasts or chaptalization, and lasts 1–4 months in a century-old oak foudre. The wine then ages on fine lees for several months until bottling, usually in July, and is filtered before bottling; sulfur may be adjusted if necessary. The sheet also records 14% active limestone and soil pH 7.8–8.3, which describe the soil rather than finished-wine analysis.
Tartaric Acid 5.8 g/L

Palate: ample, caressing, ripe, vibrant, concentrated, long
