"A 1er cru with lovely freshness and irresistible aromatic complexity!"
“What a magnificent nose of candied citrus and pineapple, with exceptional concentration and vibrancy, leading to an intensely chalky and salty palate that displays wonderful balance, and a long, graceful finish. 80% fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and 20% in used oak barrels. Ready to drink or for aging. ” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
All the distinctive character of the appellation is encapsulated in this straightforward and precise 1er Cru. Its pale gold color with green highlights is a first indication of this. The nose combines exotic fruits with a slightly smoky and vegetal undertone. The palate, full-bodied and dominated by citrus, is underpinned by a lively, taut mineral structure. Harmonious from start to finish. 2028–2033
