HARVEST NOTE
2021 was a challenging vintage which resulted in small volumes of extraordinary wines. The frost of April 6th significantly reduced the final harvest volumes. June & July saw heavy rains leading to rapid growth but unfortunately mildew also. August and September were sunny and dry, with harvest from September 15th to October 2nd. The small crop fermented quickly, alcohols were below usual levels, and all wines fermented completely dry.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, pale, yellow color. The nose shows intense, smoky and toasty aromatics, still quite reductive at this early stage. It does open to beautiful aromatics after some time in the glass, so decantation or aeration is therefore recommended. The palate is of medium power, finishes very dry with a delicate structure enhanced by great acidity. This is a nice food friendly wine that will improve even more over the next few years.

The bouquet of this wine is a cloud of smoke and flint. A very juicy, but also very elegant palate with remarkable freshness for this grape variety. Stony finish
