Tasting notes
Still a barrel sample, the 2023 Les Chasseignes shows a creamy, lactic note that you won't have seen before, as there was a little malo here in 2023 for the first time. There's a cooler, greener nature, with green herbs joining ripe apple flesh and pear. It remains fresh with a fine, chalky texture but lacks a little of the usual persistence on the finish.

The 2023 Chasseignes is already a delight to drink. There's no need to wait: it offers a warm welcome with a round and immediately charming entrance before tightening up as it moves through the mouth. There’s a belt of tension giving precision on the medium-long finish. This has ripe, pure fruit reminiscent of lemon and honey tea with chamomile. There's not a hair out of place here.
