50% demi muids 50% en cuves, soil: calcareous clay, age of vines 25yo, alc 13.5%, acidity: 4.6g/lt, RS 17g/lt, pH:3.26,
production 13.000 btl
The wine is very closed and shy compared to Clos du Bourg and Le Mont tried before, ripe citrus, pear, quince, feels a bit aggressive, a few floral notes, less sweet with 17gr/lt compared to the othere two, tropical fruit, mineral and balanced.
In the palate, the wine is better, more interesting, medium to high acidity, its more gastronomic in a way, medium body and medium to long finish. This one also needs more time in the glass, if you can wait you get minty / ginger notes too.
Outstanding quality.

50% demi muids 50% en cuves, soil: stony, green clay, flint stones, age of vines 40yo, alc 12%
Extraordinary array of flavours in the nose, ultra ripe stone fruit, green apple, pear, citrus but its also very refreshing, minty, spicy and ginger notes.
In the palate, the wine shows high acidity, overripe citrus, georgously sweet, preserved lemon and orange, floral notes, leafy freshness, decadent long finish.
Outstanding quality, way to young to drink now but can't stop drinking it. Extremely long life ahead of it. Wine of the tasting for me and I think for almost everyone else. Where do we have cases of this ?
