From two parcels of old vines; one based on Crinoidal limestone (known in France as Calcaire à Entroques), the other Comblanchien. This wine is very perfumed and pure with real depth, yet shows a lovely minerality and elegance, finishing with great length and very fine tannins.
‘A nose that’s finer and more floral-inflected after the others – ‘But the work in the vines is the same,‘ underlines Isabelle. A higher-toned and more forward aroma of red fruit with an airy perfume. Wide, more red-fruited, and more structural too – take your time with this but there’s fine material here.’ Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, November 2021.
Roasted lamb and fresh asparagus
