Winery Tasting Notes: Bright green-gold color. A powerful nose with white fruit notes, white peach, and pear. Sweet and supple, the palate evolves towrads more vivacity, carried by a nice minerality and fresh lemon aromas.

The iconic slope of the Mont Damnés vineyard in Chavignol has produced a ripe while also textured wine. It is concentrated, with tense acidity behind the white fruits. The wine will be ready later this year.
Discreet quince and gooseberry on top of the tangy, effusive stony minerality on the nose. Textured and taut on the palate, which is dry and broad and cut through with fresh acidity. Mineral and fruity at the same time. Vegan. Drink now.
Replete with shifting flavors, this shows progression along its substantial length, bright, grassy citrus notes mellowing out to a red-tinged apple finish, all flecked by minty pyrazines
