Planted at the beginning of the 90s, the vines are now well rooted and must dig down deep in order to go in search of their nutrients. The growth cycle is longer, beginning at the same time or even earlier, but the maturation is longer, and the harvest takes place a few days later compared with the vines of the Côte.
Thanks to its originality, this very generous wine avoids the generic characteristics of its appellation. Its rich and often tropical aromas, its freshness on the palate and its mineral character are remarkable.
When this wine is young, its nose is captivating and well developed, whereas the palate remains "tight”, still marked by the acidity. We would advise a few years of ageing (three to five years) for this wine to achieve a perfect balance.
A fresh and relatively cool nose combines notes of various white-fleshed fruit with those of citrus zest. There is good richness and vibrancy to the delicious flavors that culminate in a bitter lemon-suffused finish.
