Chenin Blanc from less than a hectare of old vines planted over clay, limestone and silex, spread out amongst tiny parcels.
From a powerful vintage, the grapes were pressed directly to old barrels for three years of élevage and the wine was bottled with a touch of sugar remaining. This has now dissolved into the wine, leaving a vin de garde of staggering depth and complexity which will reward drinkers for many years to come.
Please note that this vintage differs from the photograph and is bottled under crown cap rather than cork.
