Production Details The vineyard has a 33% grade and full grass cover; the producer reports green manure, natural fertilisation and Poussard-method Cordon de Royat pruning. Following gentle gravity pressing, spontaneous primary fermentation took place in Burgundian oak barrels, with seven months on harvest lees. Malolactic fermentation was not induced. The wine was neither filtered nor clarified and subsequently spent 14 years and two months on bottle lees.

Production Details The bottle reviewed by Stephan Reinhardt was disgorged in June 2013. This is retained as bottle/release-specific context and is not asserted as the disgorgement date for every 2003 bottle.
Tasting Notes Stephan Reinhardt: pure, fresh and intense, with sweet-cherry and iodine aromas; tense, salty, mineral, fresh and long on the palate.
