2023 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2033+
Region Perrieres
Production Details The producer-hosted pre-bottling report scheduled the 2023 whites for bottling around November 2025, approximately 27 months after harvest. It describes a long élevage without added protection, no racking after malolactic completion, and the house practice of bottling whites with elevated CO2 (reported as approximately 1000 mm), for which decanting is advised.
Tasting Notes Burghound barrel review, projected 91–93 points: cool, airy and restrained, with smoky wet Granny Smith apple, white flowers, lemon-lime and crushed anise; relatively dense and powerful, with pronounced minerality and a persistent, citrus-driven, tightly wound finish.
2018 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2028+
Region Perrieres
Tasting Notes Burghound barrel review, projected 90–93 points: cool and restrained mineral-reduction, acacia and subtle apple-cider aromas; racy, intense and well-defined, with a pebble-like mineral texture and a bone-dry but not strongly austere finish.

2013 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2023+
Region Perrieres
Production Details None of the 2013 whites had been racked, and their lees had been stirred three times in total. No SO2 had been added as of the February cellar visit; this is an in-cellar observation, not a finished-wine sulfite claim. The report also describes elevated retained CO2 and recommends decanting, particularly when opening the wines young.
Tasting Notes Burghound barrel review, projected 91–94 points: pungent but elegant wood toast, wet stone, white flowers, pear and apple; racy, intense and tightly focused, with a strongly stony texture, energy, harmony and a complex, persistent finish.

2011 Technical Specifications
Region Perrieres
Production Details At the cellar tasting, every barrel remained on healthy lees and nothing had been racked or treated with sulfites. The producer reported 13.2 degrees of potential alcohol after chaptalization; this is vintage-development context, not finished-wine alcohol. He also said the wines began developing beyond their initially fruit-forward character around 14 months after harvest.
Tasting Notes Wine Spectator preview, projected 91–94 points: lemon, stone, chalk and mineral flavors; lean, thoroughbred and very long.

2008 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2015+
Region Perrieres
Production Details The 2008 wines used very limited sulfur and, in some cases, none; the exact sulfur treatment of Perrières is not specified. Malolactic fermentation finished relatively early, after which the wines were left untouched. The producer emphasized lees work and advised decanting because of retained CO2.
Tasting Notes Burghound barrel review, projected 91–94 points: elegant, restrained and cool white-flower and citrus aromas; precise and intensely stony, with an explosive bone-dry finish showing saline and iodine-like notes.

2005 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2013+
Region Perrieres
Production Details The producer described a small, concentrated 2005 crop with approximately 13.5% potential alcohol in the raw material, not finished-wine ABV. White fermentations were relatively quick and were followed by deliberately long malolactic fermentation. The wines had not been racked or pumped and were intended to be bottled without fining or filtration. Retained CO2 prompted a recommendation to decant.
Tasting Notes Burghound barrel review, projected 92–94 points: subtly spiced white flowers, green apple and light toasted-bread notes; pure, mineral and dry-extract-rich, with a precise, moderately strict finish.
