Beschreibung

Two parcels, planted 10 years apart make up our "Forêts". Here, solid rock is only a few centimetres underfoot. The minerality brought to the wine is therefore clean, precise and powerful.

Tasting notes
Serve between 12 and 14˚c and air or carafe the wine before tasting.
Notes of fern and undergrowth, blended with more spicy notes of cocoa and pepper, give an energetic, chalky, very mineral taste in the mouth.
