Tasting notes
Aromatic, leafy nose with real zing and green-fruit flavours. Maybe not the most concentrated but very polished and true to the appellation. There's considerable fruit concentration but no obvious alcohol. (JR)

From parcels dotted around the village of Verdigny. A blend of the three major soil types found in the region: caillotes, silex and terres blanches. Impervious on the nose; walking that line of fruit and metal and stone and smoke and spice that cannot be described as savoury or fruity or mineral, and yet it's not anything else. There is saltiness, certainly – a kind of caper brine that is both tang and salt and that you think should belong to the sea but here, it doesn't. It's defiantly itself. It is taut with athletic muscle and curved into poetry. Art and science in a glass. (TC)
