Elegant and finessed, a testatment to the slow burn power of limestone, this is full of crushed roses, tobacco leaf, soy and gentle salted crackers. The clearest feeling you get from this is of unfussy drinkability, with subtle depths that steal up on you. Tertiary flavours, in its drinking window, lighter than air and yet grounded and full of flavour. The grandparents of Josephine Duffau Lagarrosse, the current owner, made this wine, with short extraction times and traditionally hands-off winemaking. Served out of magnum, 20% new oak, ex-château.
