This wine is the younger release of the Grand Blanc offered above, also drawn from the l’Aigle terroir. Aware of the natural richness and density gifted by his terroir, Jean-Marie chooses to vinify only the purest and naturally tense free-run juices.

Then, he favours a short aging in barrels (25% new) for eight months, before subsequent aging in concrete vats on fine lees for a further ten months.

It shares the same hazelnut-oil richness, rolling fruit and creamy texture as the 2017, joined by summer flavours of quince jelly, pineapple and apricot coulis, all carried by the tangy freshness of citrus peel and some chalky, driving acidity.
