A patchwork field blend of 100-year-old vines on north-facing schist soils. In 2022 they picked early and still hit 13.5% and reflecting a trend towards leaner, fresher, brighter white wines they moved to larger, older oak barrels. Concentrated, ripe nose of stone fruits ? sticky flesh, a little vanilla, fresh citrus and a lick of salinity. The palate too shows great concentration, a cordial-like richness, a spicy warmth and a lovely texture. Reminiscent of Corton or Pernand-Vergelesses, this is ripe, with good grip, and plenty of freshness. 0-9 years.
