Savagnin from old vines planted over the famous grey marl in two of Château-Chalon’s great lieu-dits in Beaumont and Sous-Roche. The grapes were pressed directly to demi-muids for a year of elévage, before a further year of rest in cuve. The pedigree of the sites really shines bright here, a cool year having rendered a wine of rare balance, power and poise that will age for no doubt age with grace and aplomb.
