Description

"Smoothly blends depth and energy and finishes long and gently spicy, with lingering florality and a hint of chalky minerals" Josh Raynolds, Vinous

"The wine has weight and minerality as well as fruitiness. Drink from late 2021. Organic" Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

Attractive, glossy. Delicate, elegant floral aromas on the nose. Lively minerality with strawberry notes.

Mechanically-harvested in the early hours of the morning to obtain wine of an attractively pale colour. Grapes are completely destemmed. The approach to winemaking is by the traditional method in stainless steel vats: short period of skin maceration before pressing. Cold temperature settling is the next stage. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation avoided to retain those crisp, fresh aromas.

Food Pairing: As an aperitif or with southern French dishes.
