Production Details Les Charrières was the first parcel picked in 2023; the producer describes old, south-facing vines bearing small berries. He assessed the wine 18 months later, describing power from the warm season together with limestone-derived minerality, freshness and bitterness; this 18-month reference is a tasting interval, not an established maturation duration.
Tasting Notes Powerful, mineral and fresh, with limestone-derived bitterness and a balance between complexity and minerality

Production Details First separately vinified release of this lieu-dit, previously incorporated into the village blend. The micro-cuvée came from the upper part of Les Charrières, from south-facing vines described as over 50 years old and planted on SO4 rootstock; the vines produced very low yields of small, often millerandé berries, and production was fewer than 1,000 numbered bottles.
Tasting Notes Light gold; gunflint and struck flint, pear, white peach, yellow plum, apricot, lime, orange zest, orchard blossom, acacia, anise-like chervil and brioche; dense and tapered, with juicy acidity and a penetrating saline-mineral finish
Food Pairing Large shellfish, roasted turbot, or sole Viennoise with hazelnut and Parmesan crust
