Production Details For 2022, grapes were hand harvested and directly pressed; fermentation used indigenous yeast in stainless steel, followed by 18 months in the same type of vessel on fine lees and very light filtration before bottling. The producer’s exact-wine protocol further specifies alcoholic fermentation for 15–18 days at 18°C, malolactic fermentation with natural bacteria at 20°C for several months, and tank-only maturation from vintage 2013 onward.
Tasting Notes Expressive mineral character; lemon, honeysuckle and brioche; rich and generous texture with depth and a long finish

Production Details The 2021 technical description gives hand picking, stainless-steel alcoholic fermentation with natural yeast for 15–18 days at 18°C, malolactic fermentation with natural bacteria at 20°C for several months, and tank-only maturation on fine lees with light filtration. Although the standard sheet says bottling generally occurs 18–20 months after harvest, the 18 January 2023 barrel/tank tasting reported that the 2021 grands crus were not yet bottled and were expected to remain in élevage until summer, approaching 24 months.
Tasting Notes Decanter/DWWA 2024: passion fruit, pomelo, white peach, marzipan, coconut water, smoky mineral spice, creamy texture and vivid acidity. Burgundy Report’s 18 January 2023 tasting: energetic, herbal complexity, rounded texture, faint sweetness and a possible touch of botrytis.
