Tasting Notes
Charles van Canneyt has 0.5 hectares of this Premier Cru, sandwiched between Clos de la Perrière and Le Clos Blanc. It’s one to watch – and a site that Charles thinks is benefiting from global warming, thanks to its limestone soils. The 2021 is a mesmerising wine, offering more depth than the village wines – and a marked step up in quality. Wild strawberry and cherry fruit swirl together, while there’s a density and salinity that offset each other beautifully. There’s a fine framework behind the fruit that build gradually on the palate, fleshed out with sweet spice, velvet fruit and mineral freshness. The finish is floral and lifted, with the lush fruit evolving into crystallised rose petals. Stunning.
