This is a south-east facing parcel of 1.33 hectares sited on the first slope in Fleurie, as approached from Moulin-à-Vent. It is quite steep, the vineyard surrounded by meadow and woodland. The vines, which range from 36 to 46 years, are planted on granite and quartz soils which contribute to the mineral tension which pervades this wine. Dark, quite fleshy berries and very mineral, with beautifully integrated tannins. Focused and pure.
"Very aromatic and immediately enticing there is nonetheless grip here and a robust personality, stony-minerals and acidity underpinning the fruit-layered palate - precise"
