Less than 3000 bottles produced from vines planted in 1972 on the lieu-dit Les Vercandières, at the foot of Les Bessards, where Gilles does all the vineyard work himself. The fruit is de-stemmed, followed by a 21-25 day vinification and then 24 months elevage in four French oak demi-muids. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered. This wine is fresh and detailed with old vine intensity expanding on the palate finishing with notable earthy minerality and impressive persistence. Will develop and evolve over a decade or more. A superb representation for this great vineyard.
