Baron de L

The grapes come from several of the estate’s finest vineyard sites, including Le Désert, La Fontaine, La Belle Vue, La Crois and Les Bleus; the vines are around 40 years old on average. The sites contain clay, limestone and flint. Baron de L is only produced in exceptional vintages. After hand-harvesting and rigorous selection, only free-run juice is used; the parcels are vinified separately in inert stainless steel. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, after which the wine matures for around two years on its lees, without oak. In the glass it displays citrus peel, grapefruit, blossom, beeswax and flint, with full, elegant fruit, lively acidity, mineral depth and a long finish.
