Made from a blend of vineyards in Mesnil, Oger and Avize, with reserve wines aged in oak, this is a superb entry into the brilliantly Grand Cru fruit of Vergnon. The nose first leads with citrus notes before giving you a nice dollop of secondary. The palate keeps central with loads of chalky and mineral notes alongside a touch of toast and honey. The finish is clean, precise and engaging... I'm straight back into the glass!
