From vines aged over 80 years old and located in the mid-slope sweet spot of this beautiful vineyard, this is delightfully balanced. The perfect weight of fresh fruit sits alongside vibrant energy and purity that gives a spine-tingling finish. An outstanding wine with poise, grace and verve. Drink 2020-2027.
The Bret brothers described 2017 as another warm and early vintage, with harvest beginning on the 26th August. They picked early compared to many of their peers, Jean-Philippe explaining that maturity came very quickly. Their decision to bring the grapes in quickly, along with their organic and biodynamic viticulture, has resulted in wonderfully fresh wines. In the cellar they are experimenting with lower levels of sulphur during the winemaking process, with the aim of obtaining full fruit and terroir expression in their wines.

The special cuvée – bottled for us exclusively in magnums – comes from a few rows of vines which produce tiny, ultra-concentrated grapes. There is a lovely touch of reduction on the nose and a constantly changing array of aromas. The palate is concentrated with weighty fruit, buzzing energy and tons of dry extract. Wow. Drink 2021-2030.

From vines aged over 80 years old and located in the mid-slope sweet spot of this vineyard, this is beautifully balanced. The nose is a cocktail of apple, citrus and a touch of peach, while the palate is intensely fresh with spine-tingling acidity that emerges from the mid-palate and stretches the wine to a long, tangy, mentholated finish. Drink 2021-2028.

This special cuvée – bottled for us exclusively in magnums – comes from a few rows of vines which produce tiny, ultra-concentrated grapes. As one would expect, there is huge concentration and density here, and a leap up in terms of concentration versus the standard bottling. The real strength of this wine, however, is its textural complexity. Drink 2022-2030.
