This year sees a new direction for this cuvée, it being a three week maceration of whole bunches of Aligoté, Gamay and Pinot Noir, rather than the usual Chardonnay. After pressing, the wine rested in old barrels until springtime and the result is quite something. A hazy shade of apricot in the glass, it reminds us a little of a great lambic, with savoury, warm and nutty notes of wheat, barley and spice. As curious as they come, this is certainly one for the heads.
