Production Details The 7.4-acre vineyard was cane pruned and VSP trained at 1,460–1,520 feet. The sheet contains an internal aging-duration conflict: its introductory paragraph says two years in the cellar, while its detailed aging regimen says three years in a combination of oak casks and used and new French oak barrels ranging from 228 to 12,000 L. Both passages state a further two years of bottle aging before release. Coopers were Demptos, Treuil and Tonnellerie O.
