Still youthful, but this already has an expressive stony personality plus a slew of wild herb and licorice aromas. For this appellation the tannins are surprisingly polished, the minerality building at the finish. A cuvee from two steep sites in this appellation on granite soils. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
