Yellow plum, quince, crushed chalk and a trace of hazelnut on the nose — precise and inviting. On the palate, wild fennel threads through the citrus core, adding an herbal edge that lifts the whole wine. It's focused and taut, with nothing loose or soft about it, the finish cutting clean and long. Les Butteaux in 2021 is wound tight and built to last; give it 15–20 years.
