- This exquisite wine showcases a luxurious combination of vibrant salty and mineral notes, complemented by a subtle hint of liquorice. It offers a rich and creamy texture on the palate, culminating in a delightfully lingering finish.
The grapes were gently pressed and then racked to the barrel, where fermentation took place using natural yeasts. The wine was kept on its fine lees and underwent batonnage to impart texture and complexity. The malolactic conversion took place in the barrel. The wine was 100% barrel-aged for 12 months in traditional Burgundian 228-litre barrels, of which 25% were new oak. The wine was then transferred to a tank, where it spent six months before being lightly fined, filtered, and estate bottled.
It is an opulent wine with a lively, salty, mineral character and a hint of liquorice. It is rich and creamy on the palate and has a lingering finish.

| Winery | The grapes come from a single vineyard, ‘Coteaux Sous la Roche’, which translates as' under the rocks’. The south-facing plot has a very stony soil, which imparts a distinctive mineral character to the wine. The vineyard is managed with respect for the unique attributes of each site’s terroir and is farmed sustainably and organically, although it is not certified. Some biodynamic philosophies are also followed. The grapes for this cuvee were harvested early to retain acidity. They were hand-picked and carefully sorted before vinification. |
