(at Decanter's Mediterranean & Balkans Fine Wine Encounter, 12 May 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
This organic property has to be a contender for most beautiful vineyard setting, on the edge of France's highest sea cliff. The wines are equally impressive, and this blend of fruit from 50 year old vines, aged in concrete eggs, shows beautiful concentration of lemon myrtle, white peach, wild flowers and creamy notes on a rich, round palate. Tangy and textured.
