Production Details Martel describes maturation for around two years on the lees without movement, followed by bottling without filtration or fining; only a minimal sulphur dose is described as necessary, residual carbon dioxide is normally retained, and energetic decanting is recommended. For the broader 2023 white cohort, the producer described an approximately 27-month élevage with intended bottling around November 2025, no racking after malolactic completion, deliberately elevated carbon dioxide, and an oxidative-style, non-interventionist élevage intended to precipitate oxidizable material before bottling.
