Production Details The producer reports a 0.63 ha parcel and “Production 4,070,” but supplies no production unit. After light settling, fermentation occurs in barrel. The sheet is internally inconsistent about new oak: its summary states 30%, while its winemaking section states approximately 5–20%; no single new-oak percentage should be adopted. The first racking follows approximately one year in wood, followed by 4–6 months in stainless steel. The domaine-wide 2023 harvest began on 31 August and lasted two weeks; this is not established as the exact picking date for Les Porusots. The estate reports organic practice since 1995, biodynamic practice since 2005, and Ecocert certification. Jasper Morris assigned a 90–93 range.
