Notes from Becky Wasserman:
"In the Hautes Cotes de Beaune. Located on the other side of a small valley that separates it from the village of Fussey, at 470m altitude."
Andy from March '26 visit:
"This is one of the wines that they left in barrel for 22 months. Double the normal elevage, and what they hope to do with most whites one day. Pear flesh with a great rush of cool citrus. Just a slight hint of reduction like a flake of salt. Great midpalate texture with long long stony finish. Best white of the lineup."
