Advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt, this estate is pursuing its qualitative path away from woody caricatures. The viticulture is biodynamic and the wines are precise, bursting with fruit. Oriental and ripe, the nose evokes sweet spices, liquorice and cherry. Shimmering on the attack, the palate develops a full, fleshy body, culminating in a very pretty, expressive and sustained finish.Wine Advocate : 94/100 ; Tim Atkin : 93/100 ; Guia Penin : 92/100

Viticulture

The vineyards are located on plateaus and hillsides at an altitude of 800 metres. The vineyard is composed of 6 different soils with clayey-limestone, sandy-gravelly and more clayey-silty tendencies. Hand-picked in crates.

Oenology

The grapes are destemmed, not crushed, sorted and vatted within an hour of being picked. Vinification in stainless steel vats with 25-30 days maceration (15 days of fermentation). Malolactic fermentation in new barrels. Aged on lees with micro-oxygenation and stirring of the lees.
