Biodynamically farmed Melon de Bourgogne planted on schist and deep granite bedrock. This is a special, old-vine parcel ranging from 50 - 70 years old. Hand-harvested and gently pressed, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on the lees in traditional, glass-lined, underground tanks for 8 months before bottling and release.
A lucid, crystalline nose of crushed oyster shells, sea spray, lemony citrus, and green apple. The palate is salty and savory, packed with green citrus, iodine and concentrated mid-palate minerality. Its refreshment and drinkability is only surpassed by its depth and terroir transparency. Year after year, this seemingly humble wine continues to astonish me.
