About the estate:
An old estate, first mentioned in the 18th century, now covering 24 hectares. At the helm are Roger Belland, who took over in 1981; his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and is in charge of winemaking; and their new colleague, Martin Boyer. While the estate is not certified organic, it practices sustainable and carefully managed viticulture (full grass cover in the vineyard, no herbicides) and produces wines of great consistency.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
Rated "Recommended"
About the wine:
The nose, fresher and more exuberant, features spicy aromas of red cherry, red currant, and subtle spicy notes. The delicious, more mineral-driven flavors are more vibrant. They aren’t as rich, but they offer greater precision on the youthful, austere, and moderately firm finish. This is a wine that will need at least a few years of aging. 2029+
