Description
The vineyard’s name, La Sablière, refers to the sandy clay soils, partly explaining this wine’s beautiful, lifted perfume of summer fruits and red flowers. The vines are 90 years old, some even older, and Camille ferments this wine in concrete with 40% whole bunches layered at the bottom of the tank (so that any punchdowns and pumpovers won’t break the whole berries). Simply a stellar wine for this level: elegant, pure-fruited and vivid with a pretty, lacy structure and crunchy finish.
“Hmm, the wine is cold but its aroma is growing in the glass – direct, fragrant – floral – it’s gorgeous. There’s a hint of tannin framing the structure and flavour – but what an open, fluid, clean wine of delicious flavour – and not a bit simple. I’d be keeping this a year or two – finishing with a fine juicy and vibrant perfumed red fruit… Beautiful Bourgogne!” - Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge En la Place is bright and vibrant, revealing attractive aromas of sweet red berries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate. This is another welcome addition to the range.” 90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
