Rich and mineral-driven, with wild cherry, crushed herbs and wet stone building beautifully. The 40-year-old vines deliver serious concentration, while those ancient stone walls impart a distinctive earthy backbone. Classic Loire elegance with real substance. This walks the line between power and finesse with remarkable grace. Firm structure demands patience.
