Operating on a microscopic scale from its small, gravelly vineyard situated on a sunny plateau near Château Trotanoy, the estate's philosophy focuses on extreme selection, low yields, and meticulous hand-craftsmanship.

On the supple, opulent palate, it delivers a harmonious layer of sweet dark fruit balanced by resolved, silky tannins and a gentle thread of preserved acidity.
