Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points

“A subtle and shy nose on this wine suggests earthiness and a touch of reductive smoke. On the palate, lemony freshness illuminates the finesse of the body. Concentration, subtle texture, yeasty savor and a hint of oak toastiness harmonize with that lemony brightness. It’s long and elegant.”

Winemaker Notes:

“A sunnier parcel with a higher presence of marl in its soil, Sous la Velle typically produces an earthier, broader wine than La Perrire. If a touch less fine and bracing than its neighbor, it is perhaps more layered and complex on the palate, with an intensity more brooding than soaring. Its long, tightly wound finish reveals its pedigree, as well as the sheer material of the vintage.”

Alcohol: 13%
