Century-old vines deliver concentrated dark fruit with surprising elegance. Plum and cassis flow across a chalky, mineral-driven palate that speaks purely of Loire terroir. The old foudre aging brings textural depth without overwhelming the wine's inherent finesse. Accessible now but built with enough structure for medium-term cellaring.
