Mineral tension drives this beautifully focused white from clay-limestone soils. The north-facing exposure preserves freshness while partial barrel work adds texture without masking the wine's inherent precision. Lemon zest and wet stone dominate, with hints of brioche from lees stirring. Crystalline and pure.
