This comes from a selection of vineyards on very stony, chalky soils. With 20% whole clusters in the fermentation and 20 months in casks, this wine is mute on the noseit has nothing at all to say, but the palate sure does. It’s extremely fruity and rich in acidity and freshness. The austerity is what defines the tannic structure herea skeleton of tannins like a tense, steel network. A wine that goes far beyond the variety to speak of the place. A mountain wine.
