Light yellow. Intensely fragrant nose displays fresh lemon, lime, green apple and cherry pit. Bone-dry and wonderfully focused, with clean citrus and apple flavors complicated by bitter cherry and blood orange. Finishes with impressive intensity and grip. I really like this wine's dry, focused personality. - Stephen Tanzer

The estate is sizeable by grower standards; 22 hectares, with 10 hectares in Ay, and the rest divided among Mareuil, Mutigny, Bisseul and parcels in the Sezannais and the Aube. All wines undergo Malolactic Fermentation and are 100% cuvee (free run juice). Dosage is must concentrate and annual production is ten thousand cases. The soil type is cretaceous chalk and limestone.
