Production Details Sustainably farmed 1.05 ha parcel; 100% manual harvest; elevation 235–240 m on the lower slope. The must underwent 24 hours of static settling, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in oak barrels. The producer specifies 15 months of maturation and a barrel program comprising 20% new oak; recommended serving temperature is 11–13°C. The producer's language versions conflict on grape handling and the four-month maturation phase: the English sheet says 100% crushed grapes and 4 months in stainless-steel tank, while the French sheet says 100% whole grapes and 4 months of assemblage en masse. Those disputed details should not be normalized as settled facts.
