There is an abundant green apple fruit, with an edge of lemon peel and mineral. There is plenty of tension and freshness, but the wine is still ripe, broad and well-built. Lovely. Chanson has 1.88ha here, making it the largest landowner. The vines face due east at mid-slope in a stony, silty soil on a very steep slope, making this a very cool terroir. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters without crushing, settled briefly, and fermented in cask (20% new).
Fresh and fascinating nose of herbs and crisp pears with some reine-claude plum character. An impressive example of this appellation, thanks to the concentration and pronounced, stony character. Very fresh in the 2020 vintage context, with plenty of energy. Excellent integration of minerality and fine tannins at the long finish.
A youthful white, evoking baking spice, lemon and stony mineral flavors. On the lean side, with crisp acidity driving the spicy finish. Drink now through 2028.
