Minerality

High altitude, just below the forest at top of hill, facing east/southeast, terres blanches, meaning "white soils" abundant limestone. Vines Planted in the mid- 1970's. Whole-cluster pressing, light settling before transfer to 300L barrels (15% new oak), indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 18 months, fined and/or filtered only if necessary.

Jasper Morris:

Six barrels made, a half crop. Lemon and lime colour. A little touch of minerality from the bouquet onwards, some varied citrus family notes, racy and quite distinguished. Worth seeking out. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: October 2022.
