93Wine Enthusiast

This beautiful wine offers intense fruit, touches of toastiness and a pure line of acidity. Its succulent texture and generous fruit are layered with the fresher, mineral character...

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Elegant white-fleshed stone fruit and very delicate... Crisp, etched with a little citrus-pith bitterness, the core packed with sharp, crunchy chopped Bramley apple. Then the flavours intensify a little, just-ripe peach notes building towards an almost-savoury finish.

It is up the slope and west of many of the appellation’s Premier Cru vineyards, and in fact wasn’t farmed as a vineyard until the mid-20th century, when the land was cleared of rocks and scrub. The elevation is 300 to 380 meters.
