“Champ de Cour”

3.28 ha: located 200 meters high, on slightly stony grounds and sheltered from the winds. 

The wines combine power and elegance. 

About the vintage 2017

Very good & sunny vintage. Harvest was early, and long due to the heterogeneity of maturity of the terroirs.

About the terroirs

Global vision: at the bottom of the granitic mount where stands the historical windmill, 220m in altitude, this terroir is slightly sloping.

Soils: deep granitic soils, rich with clay

 Exposition: East exposure, this terroir is sheltered from the winds.

Tasting Notes

Revealing aromas of cherries, dark berry fruit, candied peel and vanilla pod, it’s full-bodied, layered and chewy, with firm tannins and an oak-inflected finish.

 There’s clearly serious raw material here and thoughtful vilification, too, but I can’t help feeling that the wine’s fruit is somewhat surpassed on the palate by the supplemental oak phenolics.
