The only flint-based terroir within an appellation dominated by limestone, this plot of vines, planted in 1976, produces a wine of bold character. Exposée à l’Est, elle donne naissance à une expression tendue, droite, presque architecturale du Sauvignon. With its east-facing exposure, it produces a direct, taut and almost architectural expression of the Sauvignon varietal. The power on the palate is framed by delicate bitter notes and a lively, well-honed structure that can at times seem almost austere. Pure, understated and powerful, this wine is carried by a mineral energy that gives it a distinctive identity.
