The nose just grabs your attention. Sublime notes of Pink grapefruit, dried honey, beeswax, flint, crushed stone… such an intoxicating nose. The palate offers so much - brooding weight of fruit, acidity, minerality and layer upon layer of herbal/citrus notes. Long, incredibly, deliciously, moreishly long with a hedonistic sumptuous quality.
Very rare. A single walled 'clos' which then has 11 parallel walls inside, the vines planted to the north side so their roots lie in the cool shade, the vine then grows through an individual hole per vine in each wall, so the vine grows and ripens in the south facing side. Ingenious! The vineyard is designated a rare Monument. Hand picked, selected, seperate ferment in tank, ageing in used oak barrels.
