Each block spends an average of 12 days on the skins.

The wine offers upfront tropical fruit aromas balanced by a distinct minerality and crisp acidity

neatly separating it from Montagne-Saint-Emilion

A toasty blanc de blanc with an aromatic overtone of smoke and lemon peel notes accenting flavors of poached apricot
