Description

This is a blend of five terroirs across the steep Vaillons premier cru. Blending gives Benoît the chance to introduce freshness, with higher acid fruit running through the riper parcels. There is a great interplay between these two elements of freshness and ripeness in 2020. The fruit was picked early, so the warm site’s character is expressed as a perfumed, almost decadent floral character. 25% was fermented and aged in old oak, and the wine has a classical balance and huge appeal in its youth. It will age too, but that’s only if you can resist it early on, when it just looks so good.

Here there is less citrus and more floral influence on the white pepper and mineral reduction inflected nose. The sleek, intense and attractively textured medium weight flavors possess a bracing salinity on the agreeably dry and equally well-focused finale that is just a bit firmer.
