This cask-strength (brut de fut), 50.1 abv distillation of only Folle Blanche grapes, released in a limited run of 1000 bottles, will make a great addition to the obscure, special-occasions-only shelf of any liquor cabinet.
This amber-gold offering from the Bas Armagnac appelation has dried apricot and gingerbread on the nose and plenty of oak. A great fire-side sipper or flask-filler, with a little extra kick at 45.5 abv.
La Sauvage is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Chatenière 1er Cru vineyard that is right above the winery. This intense Chardonnay with notes of hazelnut, apricot, and brioche, has its acidity softened by a carbonic maceration fermentation.
Shadows is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Combe 1er Cru vineyard that is well shaded by forest. Wild, low-yielding old vines make an intense and rich Chardonnay.
Superposition comes from the Le Trézin parcel of Puligny-Montrachet at the top of the Blagny hill where the altitude keeps the acidity fresh in the wine. A complex Chardonnay with buttery richness and grapefruit aromas that deserves some cellaring.
