Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
The colour is limpid and bright. The wine develops mineral notes with hints of white flowers. Precise on the palate and long aftertaste. It shows an amazing purety.
Vintage
Challenging weather conditions left their marks on 2024 harvest, yet thanks to meticulous grape sorting and precise vinification, we achieved wines of remarkable quality, though in limited quantities.
The extended sunshine through mid-September gave the white wines a beautiful balance, revealing aromas of fresh fruit and citrus, delicately mingled with hints of almond and white blossom. Elegant and refined, they offer both freshness and purity on the palate.
Vintage reviewWinemaking
Supply: this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.
Harvest: grapes harvested by hands or with the grape harvester.
Vinification: the grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press. After settling the juices ferments for 2/3 in stainless steel vats and for 1/3 in 500 litre oak barrels.
Ageing: remains mixed during 6 to 10 months.
Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
