Rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone and drawn from low-yielding vines planted nearly a century ago, it captures the essence of its terroir with purity and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"769\"\u003eFermented and matured entirely in stainless steel, the wine offers a tensile frame of citrus and white stone fruit layered with iodine, crushed chalk, and lifted floral notes. Intense yet finely detailed, it finishes with striking sapidity and sustained length. A wine for purists and collectors alike, ideally served with oysters, scallops, or grilled white fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"154\" data-end=\"807\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"826\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"973\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"837\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"840\"\u003e – Mineral and refined\u003cbr data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"864\"\u003e Lemon zest, oyster shell and crushed chalk dominate, with hints of white flowers and a delicate iodised edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1151\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"985\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"988\"\u003e – Crisp, saline and tensile\u003cbr data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1018\"\u003e Bright citrus and orchard fruit ride over flinty minerality and fine texture, supported by vivid acidity and a linear, focused frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1309\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003e – Clean, persistent and chalky\u003cbr data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e A lingering close of lemon peel and sea spray, carried by a dry, chalky finish that underscores its precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1901\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003e “Crushed stone, sea cave and just a touch of menthol on the intense nose, this is beautifully defined… the palate is well balanced with just a touch of dried apricot and fig, animated and tensile.
