All Pinot Blanc from a selection of 40-50 year old vines planted on limestone soils. The grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and ferment with ambient yeast in stainless steel. The wine then ages in oak casks of varying size, some of which do not go through malolactic conversion, thus retaining their inherent bright, critic acidity. Bottled after 8 months in barrel.
A concise yet vibrant nose opens with lemon sorbet, green apple, ginger and crushed rocks. Elegant and refreshing on the palate with zesty notes of citrus and crunchy green pear that are seamlessly linked to savory, salty minerals. There's a delicate, soft texture deftly balancing all the zippy acidity and chalky minerality. An ideal bottle to have in the fridge when all you crave is a delicious, cold glass of white.
