Truly beautiful wine from the son of chef Alain Chapel and his wife Michele, ex somm at Thomas Keller's Per Se. From a south-east-facing 2.2ha parcel of 65 year-old vines on granite and schist at 400m. The cool weather in September meant that fermentation lasted more than 20 days. Ripe fruit but overall refreshingly irresistible. For drinking with or without food. Brilliantly smooth texture with no sacrifice of flavour.
