Vaulorent

With the volume returning to normal in 2017, this wine was once again partially aged and fermented in oak, a technique which Benoît feels softens its power. The nose has touches of gunflint and rich spice, while the palate builds from a discreet base to offer plenty of power. It’s rich and supple with chewy, warming minerals on the long finish. Drink 2021-2027.
