Production Details Justerini & Brooks describes 2022 as likely the final Source des Roches vintage, with its constituent plots expected to become separate single-vineyard bottlings from 2023; this is a qualified trade-source statement, not a definitive producer lifecycle declaration.
Tasting Notes Justerini & Brooks described crisp intensity, a salty edge, silky white fruit, and lemon zest. Neal Martin’s January 2024 Vinous review described grapefruit and beeswax aromas, a sapid and balanced palate, fine weight and tension, and a pithy finish.
