Production Details Fruit came from the domaine's 0.25-hectare parcel in the upper Poruzots-Dessus section beneath Narvaux. The wine was hand-harvested and underwent cold, very slow fermentation without added yeast or enzymes, with very little or no bâtonnage and no racking; malolactic conversion occurred late. Maturation was approximately 22 months with 20–30% new oak, followed by fining and filtration only when considered necessary.
Tasting Notes Orchard fruit, citrus, floral notes, hazelnut and flinty minerality; creamy yet vibrant palate, chalky texture and a long, poised finish
