About the wine:
Musky, aniseed-flavored, rich in yellow fruit, this is a highly expressive, generous white. Thanks to careful ageing, it combines seductive texture and aromas with preserved freshness.
About the domain :
Situated to the north of the Pic Saint-Loup cru, this estate consists of a large parcel of southwest-facing hillside on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined on the estate by the siltier north-east-facing Tonillières terroir. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winegrowers have restructured the estate, whose origins go back a long way, moving it towards organic and then biodynamic farming certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, tasty and fragrant wines, most of which are matured in a reducing environment.
