Characteristics: Situated mid-slope, this parcel produces a wine with aromas of spring flowers (acacia, hawthorn) and plums.

To accompany: The wine has slight buttery and toasted overtones, and is often livelier than ‘Les Genièvrières’ or ‘Les Combettes’. It can be drunk young as an aperitif, or, after several years of ageing, as an accompaniment to poultry or fish.

Ageing/storing/laying down : 5 to 10 years.
