Description

The old vines here ensure this is a remarkably consistent wine that retains its character regardless of the vintage conditions. The nose is rich, exuberant, and spicy, with plenty of ripe fruit that follows through on the palate. Don’t be fooled, though; there is also a stinging acidity that maintains the balance. This is an outstanding, concentrated wine.

Jean-Philippe explained how he and his vineyard team had to work extremely hard after the 2016 frost, managing the vines to ensure that the following year’s growth would not be compromised. Meticulous marathon runner Jean-Philippe is just the man for such an arduous task. He is delighted with the results, explaining that quality is excellent and the yield was neither too big nor too small. These wines are as reliably fresh and precise as you expect, with each vineyard’s character shining through.
