Description
Two characteristics dominate this wine: it is extremely soft and extremely easy-drinking. It’s less exuberant on the nose than the Marsannay, but more velvety on the palate, silkier and, believe it or not, very long. Overall, it has a lot of charm, and has won the hearts of numerous wine-lovers, including the most demanding.

The acidity is fairly discreet and the wine is full of charm when young. In spite of that, it ages well, but it’s difficult to resist the temptation to drink it in its early years: in our range, it is indeed the wine to be opened first in order to discover the vintage. Nevertheless, if you prefer to lay it down (for up to 10 years), it’s better to choose a cold vintage possessing natural acidity which will enable it to develop harmoniously.
