The grapes come from Block 2 of Elms-Vineyards, an east-facing alluvial fan with very deep, angular schist gravel soils covered by a thin layer of loess. They were hand-picked and pressed as whole bunches. After five to eight days of clarification, the must fermented with natural yeasts for eleven weeks to near dryness, with 5 g/l residual sugar. The wine then rested on its fine lees and was bottled without fining or cold stabilisation. In style, it shows apple, pear, pink grapefruit, blossom and mineral notes, with taut acidity, medium body and great freshness. The cool March 2024 preserved its acidity and precision.
