Hand-picked fruit arrived in 15 kg crates. Twice-daily pumpovers lasted 12–18 minutes. Fermentation lasted 5–7 days and progressed through 14–15°C, 20–22°C and 25–27°C stages. The sheet first specifies 18–20 days of skin contact but later refers to 12 days of maceration; that internal duration conflict is unresolved. Micro-oxygenation was used during maceration. The wine then matured for 14 months in French Allier oak: 35% new, 35% second use and 30% third use.
