Tasting Notes

Full bottle 1,349 g. Grown on stony low-vigour, clay-rich, shale-derived soil. Barrel-fermented and aged in Francois Frères 300-litre barrels (24% new) for nine months. Yield just 14.8 hl/ha. RS 2.1 g/l. 3,848 cases made.

Pale gold. Light, restrained nose suggests a nice, long life for this satin-textured wine. Well-mannered and creamy with strong green-fruit flavours. Just a baby now but with some richness already. An undertow and persistence. This should cellar well. Such bright fruit! 2024-2032
