This golden wine is the domaine's top cuvée. It has a chalky, mineral nose with light notes of cooked apple and pastry. The palate is rich, with a touch of sweetness that rounds out the dense, mineral fruit. The finish is long and honeyed, with a bitter twist. The Clos du Papillon vineyard is a southwest-facing site with schists, quartz and rhyolite soils. It gives a long-lived, rich and powerful wine with plenty of tension. The 15.5% alcohol is high, but the wine has sufficient concentration of fruit to take it. Certainly not a vin de piscine, this is more of a contemplation wine to enjoy on a winter's evening.
