From Les Perchy in Magny-St-Villers and Sous le Mont and La Flie in Villers-la-Faye. 71% Chardonnay (45 years), 29% Pinot Blanc (65 years). Vine age 55 years. 10,000 vines per hectare, Guyot trained. About half matured in new 350 litre barrels, the rest in sandstone vats. 10,000 vines per hectare.
Slightly fresher aromas of green apple, citrus rind and a whiff of spice leads to slightly more vibrant flavors that are rich, sappy and minerally while delivering fine length on the better-balanced finale. This attractive effort offers fine quality and should drink well shortly after release. (Drink starting 2023). 86-89 Points
