Delicate purity of forward aromas on single-vineyard 2020 lead to palate whose density & even power belies 13% alcohol & light elegance - alcohol a touch lower than 2019 (5 stars, 95 pts). Chalky tannic grip, fresh acidity give elegant refinement. Foudre ferment, then old 500L barrels.
Floral and bright, offering cherries and strawberries with some smokiness. Medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Tight and compact. Drink or hold.
