“La Rochelle”

4.21 ha: neighbour of “Vérillats”, facing south at an altitude of 280 meters, on granites rich in silica and clay. 

The wines are multidimensional, complete, and can be austere in their youth.

Tasting Notes

The nose is mineral, with aromas of ripe cherries announcing a structured and elegant wine. The silky tannins give roundness to the wine which finishes on a granitic note. A wine with great aging potential.
