Tasting notes
Crystalline chalk and wet-stone aromas. Some gentle reduction surrounds white peaches, lemons and grapefruit. The oak is very discreet. Plenty of weight on the palate with white-peach, mango and apricot flavors. Firms as the acidity chimes in and delivers such a drinkable, flavorful finish. A blend of three parcels, Combes, Perrières and Les Créots. Drink now.

Blend of three parcels (En Créot, Les Combes and Perrières in equal parts) that were not complex enough on their own. Named after his grandmother, who died in 2016 at the time of the frost. Co-fermented. Tank sample. Bright limey citrus with a hint of oak spice. But that flinty note too. Tightly coiled. Really juicy and mouth-watering to give an intense balance of fruit and acidity. Intense and creamy but with no fat at all. (JH)
