A light straw and lemon yellow gold color. A med+ but very pretty and persistent nose of lemons, limes, granny smith apples, saline, crushed chalky minerality, with a round, creamy leesy note. A medium body that feels texturally more + (plus)from the lees aging, juicy, fresh acidity, the med+ flavors are persistent, layered and complex. Avery pleasurable wine, with a long, but elegant and persistent finish of fresh granny smithapples, a creamy edge to the palate withmouthwatering acidity, another banger from Nantais!

Winemaking
JeromeBretaudeau only uses natural yeasts, often utilizingextended maceration or co-macerates where more than one grape is involved. He avoids all additives and filtration, but the most creative inputcomes in the form of ageing vessels.Large and small casks, barrels, steel tanks, concrete eggs and terra cotta amphora are all utilized. Many wines spend time in more than one type and he is even trialing a solera ageing system.The resulting wines are complex and layered, with surprising depth and power.
