Tasting Note
Pale straw. Lime, green apple, grapefruit and pear with white flowers and a hint of white chocolate. Bright, mineral-driven acidity with an oily, old‑vine texture; medium-bodied, clean and persistent citrus finish.

Production Method
Sourced from Pommard, Volnay and old Meursault vines. Grapes picked slightly late ('d’Orée') and fermented/aged partly in large 600‑L demi‑muids and oak (≈50%) and partly in stainless tank (≈50%); minimal fining/filtration on some releases.
