Hand-picked from the estate's original vineyard (east/north/west aspects on poor soils), 100% whole-bunch pressed directly to French puncheons (25% new, Taransaud/Mercurey/Dargaud & Jaeglé), wild fermented with full lees, 15-20% malolactic, and 9 months maturation. Outstanding 2023 vintage delivered fruit concentration with bright acidity from cool conditions.
