Description

This cuvée is an estate wine sourced mainly from four plots of young vines planted between 2000 and 2002 in Lambert du Lattay and the Clos des Huerdes in Beaulieu sur Layon, but this year also includes some younger vines planted to replace very old vines in the Marie Bernard parcel.

(Occasionally a special wine was made with the old vines in Marie Bernard – the last one we had was in 2015. Otherwise they were one of the Bs in Initial BB.)

The soils are clay with gravel and schist. The grapes were slowly pressed in a pneumatic press then fermented and aged mainly in tronic wooden tanks but also an egg on their fine lees. It was bottled without filtration in April 2025.

This wine is crisp with a fruity and herbaceous finish and is ideal to be drunk young.

12% ABV. Certified organic.
