From vines planted 1974 grown on mica-schist with a bedrock of schist in the village of Le Landreau. Hand harvested and aged on lees for 7 months. On the palate the wine is pure and well defined, complex and beautifully focused, with solid mid-palate depth, nice framing acids and very good length on the classy finish.

Review for 2018 vintage 2020 not yet reviewed

This is sourced from old vines, meaning more than 35-years old, on a number of parcels of schist around the village of Le Landreau. It will be bottled in March, after five months on the lees. It has a perfumed nose, fresh and bright, brimming with white stone and white fruits, with a great salty minerality. The palate is just as convincing, fresh and textural, but sinewy, cut with fine and salty minerals. I see great energy here, and no shortage of acidity or minerality despite the warmth of the vintage.

Great. 92-94/100 thewinedoctor.com Feb 2019
