Fermentation and élevage took place in 350 L barrels, 10% new, for 12 months, followed by 6 months in tank. The page's technical bullets call the farming 'practicing organic,' while its metadata separately labels the farming practice 'sustainable'; no certification is stated.

Production Details The exact 2018 entry describes practicing-organic farming, a very cold site on the Chassagne side of Saint-Aubin opposite Premier Cru En Remilly, and vines more than 50 years old. Indigenous-yeast fermentation and 12 months of élevage occurred in 350 L barrels, 10% new, followed by 6 months in tank. The article's domaine-level white-wine description says approximately 18 months on lees in total, with the final 6 months in stainless steel and no lees stirring. Thierry Pillot said the domaine's 2018 harvest began on August 26 and that its 2018 wines were between 12.5% and 13% alcohol; neither statement establishes this parcel's picking date or an exact finished-wine alcohol value.
