(2022) Planted between 2000-2002, this tiny, south-east facing block (1,650 bottles) has clays over chalky limestone; 20-25% clay, 5-10% active lime. Foot crushed and whole bunch pressed, fermentation with vineyard yeast and aged 20 months on lees in French oak barrels, plus a further six months in steel. Fabulous bracing palate, after a gently nutty, almondy, opening. So much vibrant, lemony juiciness, crunch and crispness. Gorgeous texture in the mouth, but that absolutely steely character never falters into a long, saline finish of mouth-watering decisiveness.
