Thursday, February 23, 2023 - Ultra-rare, only 0.1 hectare, vines planted in 1890 on Gneiss in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols as table grapes. The vines were previously tended by local legend Raymond Trollat, who sold his vineyards to the Gonon brothers in 2005. Organic viticulture, aged in older wood on the fine lees for 11 months with regular bâtonnage. Good weight and body in spite of its light alcoholic weight (11.5% ABV), spicy honeysuckle, peach, dried pineapple, jasmin blossom, silky texture, mild bitters, minerally depth, soft but fresh acidity provides a certain elegance on the finish. At restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL.
