Classification Premier Cru

Production Details The 2023 whites were scheduled for bottling around November 2025 after a full 27 months of élevage.

They were intended for bottling with elevated CO2 of approximately 1000 mm; the house recommends decanting.
Tasting Notes Firmly reduced nose; vibrant, succulent and dense medium-weight palate; lightly stony, saliva-inducing, impeccably balanced and long finish.
