(2022) A lowly 12.5% alcohol for this, from vineyards planted between 1988 and 2001 on clay loams, the wine wild-fermented and aged eight months in larger French oak, 15% new. Only 10% went through malolactic and there was no lees stirring. A very fine line of lemon and crisp, cool apple, quite a delicate lemon jelly style with the oak way in the background. Delightfully crisp and juicy on the palate, again focused on lemons and ripe yellow apple, even a touch of something floral, but absolutely beautiful balance here, long and shimmering into the finish in a slightly sweeter Chablis style.
