Given its location, it can be compared to Fefe in Bresse that means a bristling field of brush and rocks. This is a land which had to remove the heads of rocks and had to clear land for planting vines

Tasting
Sophisticated and concentrated nose: citrus and apricot, then notes of honey and butter with age. Finesse from Puligny-Montrachet combined with a dense and fleshy texture.
Food pairings
Ideal with seafood, poached fish or cooked with cream and cheese such as Epoisses.
Reviews
"A little more open again – this nose more minerally complex vs the florals of the last. Mouth-filling, a comfort to the texture yet still mineral and mouthwatering – again the burst of finishing flavour that recalls the Ensegnières – that’s really excellent! Better textured, better constructed and better finishing than the last."
