This wine hails from a single vineyard planted in the early 1940s below the Clos des Carmes, where sandy-clay soils over a soft limestone bedrock impart distinctive character. Aged for 11–12 months in used barrels and filtered, this wine offers a layered bouquet of crushed limestone, white peach, citrus zest, and subtle lanolin, while its palate reveals vibrant notes of Meyer lemon, green apple, and pear, all anchored by a precise, chalky finish. This is a wine of structure and elegance, built to age but stunningly expressive in its youth.
The 2021 Le Bourg is sited in one of the area's most-coveted vineyards, Brézé, offering a salty, tightly wound style. There are lemon, almond and apple flavors on this light-bodied yet firmly poised white with a sense of chili spice and salty notes. One of the main challenges here is children from the neighboring school kicking footballs into the vineyard. The vineyard team can only spray on Wednesdays when school is closed. Each year, the children pick some grapes to make jam, too!
