Production Details The contributing vines are 15–50 years old. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, with a stated goal of averaging 75% of the yields customary at neighboring estates. The wine was barrel-fermented and aged mostly in 450- and 600-litre barrels, with some elongated 350-litre Dagueneau 'cigar' barrels.
Tasting Notes Vinous: light-footed with a creamy, silken core; flint, oyster shell, sea air and citrus aromas; a slightly nutty, creamy finish and salivating freshness.
