2022 vintage. Produced from 35-55 years old biodynamically farmed Pinot Noir vines. Indigenous yeasts. Aged in barrels for about 12 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Less extracted than the 2020, which is a good idea. Raspberry and violets. Smooth and elegant, with bright raspberry fruit and velvety tannin. Abv. 13%.

2020 vintage. A blend of their different vineyards, in this case 90% calcareous soils and 10% clay with silex. Very deep colour for Pinot Noir. Blackberry and raspberry in the nose. Great balance, with concentrated fruit and subtle spices. Abv. 14%.

Very enjoyable wine. Medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of lemon, unripe white peach, lemongrass, wet slate. Similar notes on the palate with a hint of lemon custard. Medium body. Medium plus acidity. Medium finish.
