“From the best plots using 25-30% wood including for the vinification, with some new wood." Jasper Morris, MW

Description
“(from 2 parcels situated in the villages Bas de Chapelot raised in 25 to 30% five plus year old wood). A discreet dollop of wood sets off a similar set of aromas that offer a hint of iodine. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and vibrant with a slightly finer texture that carries over to the balanced, youthfully austere and slightly more compact finale. This is very good for its level and also worth considering."
