From 65+ year-old vines in 3 Cote du Puy plots, where the soils are known as roches bleues (blue schist). A longer maceration provides more velvety texture, while the wine preserves its trademark snappy, bright quality. Very violet and very mineral, this serious Cote du Py has all the depth and energy that we expect from this appellation. The really elegant medium-bodied palate has a pronounced mineral acidity, and the tannin structure builds to an imposing crescendo in the long, compact finish.
