Ninety-year-old vines deliver remarkable concentration on tuffeau limestone soils. Honeyed stone fruit and wild herbs meld with precise mineral tension. The texture shows barrel influence without heaviness. Creamy yet lifted. Exceptional persistence reveals the serious potential beneath this wine's immediate charm.
