Friday, March 10, 2023 - A blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne, one hectare on clay and granite soils, 100% whole-bunch, full malo, aged for 11 months in foudres (2/3) and concrete vats (1/3), unfiltered. Wonderful complexity on the nose (lime, orange zest, ripe melon, spicy minerality), complete, lovely depth; the palate is ripe and rounded but dry, richly textured and savoury, precise and harmonious; the finish is a bit warm but has lovely floral lift, resonance and length are very good. A very successful vintage for this wine.
