Production Details For the domaine's 2022 wines, grapes were picked in the mornings and cooled to 12°C before fermentation; juice was handled protectively away from oxygen. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel, followed by at least one year of barrel maturation and approximately six months in stainless-steel vat. Sulfur use was described as moderate, and bottling timing followed the lunar cycle.
Tasting Notes Corney & Barrow's January 2024 tasting of the 2022 described an initial flamboyance followed by definition and drive, with a focused, salty finish.
