Description
La Piécette de la Soeur Cadette
is a single-vineyard Vézelay that sparkles with freshness and minerality. The ripe, highly aromatic nose oscillates between white fruits and citrus (candied lemon). A floral note of acacia is even more pronounced than in the La Châtelaine cuvée. The attack is lively, even incisive, with vibrant fruit, followed by a ripe, mouth-watering mid-palate. Perfectly balanced between minerality and impressive body. The long, very slightly salty finish adds a further touch of elegance.
In the vineyard, in the cellar
La Châtelaine is a cuvée produced exclusively from vines situated on the southern slope of the Vézelay hill. The very shallow, stony soils, which are fairly low in clay, yield small harvests of very ripe grapes. Vinification takes place 80% in vats and 20% in barrels.
