100% Chasselas from vines planted 1895. The fruit is picked by hand, and the vinification is in stainless steel, and it is bottled within a few months of the harvest. Restrained and racy with intriguing notes of anise and almost briny oyster shell minerality on the super sleek and delicately sculpted palate.
So, how does the Dagueneau family’s very, very old Chasselas age? The 2017 version is really drinking beautifully right now, offering up lovely secondary layers in its bouquet of apple, breadfruit, straw, salty minerality, a hint of beeswax, incipient notes of candied lemon peel and upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with still good framing acids, a fine core and plenty of length and grip on the nicely balanced and vibrant finish. Good juice that is still cruising along nicely. 2020-2025.
