Bought in 2006 by Jacqueline Guichot Bertin, a former pharmacist in Paris, Saint-Ser has the highest, coolest vineyards in the appellation, at around 420m, and the vines also benefit from a southerly exposure. The domaine has been biodynamic since 2012, achieving certification in 2017. For this cuvée, Rolle is harvested when slightly overripe to obtain more roundness in the wine, which is fermented with indigenous yeasts in stoneware jars, then matured in the same containers, which Guichot believes gives better aromatics and expression of terroir. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Creamy, richly scented lemons. A gorgeous intensity of fruit, lovely texture and fine mineral acidity. Natasha Hughes MW: Juicy pears, quince, a little floral note. Rounded texture but brisk acid. Some fennel on the long finish. Real complexity and stony minerality. Oak is subtle and complementary. Joanna Simon: Fresh, delicate, floral and leafy aromas. A flowery, pure fruit palate with a fine, powdery texture. The long finish is soft, saline and slightly honeyed, with a lingering citrus peel note.
