Purchased grapes from a certified organic grower. The vines are over 60 years old, and grow on high content limestone terroir on the left bank of the Serein, facing north west - 2 km southwest of Chablis, opposite the 1er Cru sites of Forêts and Montmains. The climat is called 'Broc de Biques'. Vinified and aged in old barrels for one year, without racking or stirring. Not fined or filtered. 20mg/L SO2 before bottling.
Lemon, lime and apples. Very fresh and bright. The Chablis limestone, oyster shell and hard butter smells are restrained. Sweet fruit on the palate. So much flavour! Ripe flavours of apple, lemon, lime and nectarine. Dense palate, but strong acidity. Very long. Pushing the boundaries of ripeness to the point that the flavours are pronounced – but then the acidity, freshness and brightness all pulls it back in to create real harmony and balance. Some ripe examples are flabby – this is not! Layers and layers… lemon lime acidity. Geez this is good!
