Production Details Hand harvested by successive tries. Temperature-controlled fermentation is used, and malolactic fermentation is not encouraged. Sec cuvées traditionally contain approximately 4–9 g/L residual sugar; this is a category-level range, not a finished-wine measurement for the 2024 Clos du Bourg Sec. The wine is aged in large demi-muids. Listed production is 2,000 cases, and the record identifies the wine as certified biodynamic.
