The estate’s best site, but its north-facing aspect over 400m above sea level meant that it did not make the grade for 1er cru. Julien considers it his most reliable vineyard, almost impervious to the vagaries of the weather, and each year producing consistently fine wine. It is silky, delicate and pure, with a tensile strength underpinning the pear and citrus fruit, and less opulence than its brasher brothers. The mineral flavours are smooth and saline, and there is racy energy on the extremely long finish.
