Supple and approachable, with a pleasant sweetness to the fruit, structure and freshness. A noticeable step up from the other village-level bottlings. Organic. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2030

A fine flowing crimson purple colour. The bouquet has both class and a sense of reserve. Dark raspberry fruit, but the key is that this wine is busting with energy without sacrificing finesse. The tannins are correctly ripe and integrate beautifully, and there is just the right point of acidity alongside. An impeccable finish.

TASTING NOTES
Slightly more colour. This nose with more width but less obviously easy to find the components. Fuller, silkier, sweeter fruit - more impressive balance here for sure. Good length too. That's a very good wine. - Burgundy Report 2021 - Bill Nanson -

VINIFICATION
After sorting in the vineyard and in the winery, the grapes are de-stemmed and then directly put in tank. Cold prefermentation maceration is performed for 5 days. The spontaneous fermentation then starts. The grapes will stay in tank for roughly 3 weeks during alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then put in oak barrels by gravity (25% new
oak) for 12 months. No fining is performed.
