The near-vertical slope of the Monts Damnés produces wines that have delicate tropical fruit (a proof of ripe Sauvignon grapes) and vibrant citrus aromas. The palate confirms this fruitiness and brings a nice and clean mineral note. Served at 10-12°C, this very concentrated wine expresses its strong personality. With three to five years of bottle-aging, the wine gains roundness, richness and complexity. This wine can be enjoyed with a great variety of dishes: Asian recipes, white meats like veal escalope stuffed with prawns and marjoram. As for cheese, a Munster would do a great match.

This vineyard famed for its steep slope above the village of Chavignol has produced a balanced wine, textured and with ripe white fruits and tight acidity. Still young, it will develop well and further. Drink from 2024.

A pronounced herbaceous quality introduces this wine, which is marked by mouthwatering acidity and reveals good density to the flavors of grapefruit and green melon. Precise and linear, with weight that builds toward a lengthy finish highlighted by fresh-cut chives and refined minerality. Drink now through 2025. 2,000 cases made, 350 cases imported.
