"Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tank and mostly used, or very lightly toasted, barrels. Four month elevage in a combo of tank and wood, and then assembled in January after harvest. Bottling takes place in early spring, with only a light filtration and very low addition of SO2. Juicy, white-fleshed fruits and freshness of verbena and white flowers. On the palate, the minerality and vivacity refresh with final notes of citrus fruits! Don't hesitate to decant. Aging potential 3-5 years." - Polaner Selections, Importer
"Barrel-fermented and aged 12 months on lees, showing ripe pear, juicy lemon and flinty notes. Rounded mouthfeel yet bright, with well-integrated crisp acidity and intense minerality stretching into a long, focused finish." - 92 points, Victoria Daskal for Decanter
"The 2023 Les Rouères hails from a rare north-facing site. This cooler aspect means it is the last parcel to be harvested, even after the reds. Though rich in fruit, this is light in body with a savory, smoky and richly oaked palate. A clear grapefruit-like citrus zing cuts through on the finish. This is a well-made, enjoyable wine that will age well." - 91 points, Rebecca Gibb MW for Vinous
