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 used barrels for one year. Not fined or filtered. 10mg/L SO2 added before bottling.
Text-book aromas of oyster shell, flint, freshly churned butter, apples and lemon. Zippy and linear this year, with a finer texture than 2020. The flavours match the aromas, with sweet fruit and a chalky mineral feel that lingers. Cool and mouthwatering, with racy acidity and ample tension on the finish. Ultimately crisp, refreshing and ideal for hot weather - the polar opposite of a big buttery Chardonnay.
