Sourced from shallow, stony soils in the lieu-dit Les Corvées, this cuvée captures the power, structure, and noble austerity that define the appellation, interpreted here with elegance and precision.

Wine Characteristics:

Vinification:

The wine undergoes élevage for 14 months in French oak barrels, 20% to 40% of which are new, lending subtle structure and aromatic depth. This minimalist approach enhances the integrity of the vineyard and its singular voice.
