Sourced from a small 0.7-hectare plot in the Chamirey sector, where vines average approximately 65 years of age, this wine benefits from low-limestone marl soils that contribute depth and mineral character. The warm 2022 vintage delivers generous fruit concentration while retaining refreshing acidity and balance.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVivino \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVivino 4.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine produces a wider wine in the mouth, which opens quickly with floral notes.
