Tasting Note:
Brilliant gold with a hint of green. At first it shows crisp mineral notes on the nose, but after aeration it gains complexity and exotic fruit characteristics. A powerful, elegant and rich wine with bagfuls of character. Over the years it will open up to reveal honeyed, buttery and smoky notes.
Vinification Note:
This 1er Cru “Les Coères” is situated on very gentle east facing slopes. Soils are shallow, stony and chalky. This wine is entirely matured in stainless steel tanks and on lees during 10 months, with weekly stirring to achieve roundness and toasty notes. The wine has full malolactic fermentation and is not fined or filtered.
