1.5 hectare single vineyard with an eastern exposure, located between the villages of Pouilly and Davayé. Vines are 40+ years on average. The soil is mainly made of flint stones that give birth to a rich and powerful wine.

Concentrated, fine-grained wine with a hint of warmth (the alcohol here is 13.6%) but also noteworthy white-peppery lift to its appley finish.- Stephen Tanzer"
