Product details
Situated on the historic hillsides of Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, this 2020 release comes from an estate known for its dramatic, cascading terraces and its deep respect for heritage. The property’s sloping clay-limestone landscape, restored by hand to preserve its centuries-old stonework, creates tightly spaced rows that capture ideal sunlight and natural drainage. Vines averaging three decades in age thrive under these conditions, producing fruit with notable purity and depth. Since its acquisition by the Kwok family, the estate has focused on elevating both craftsmanship and terroir expression, blending tradition with thoughtful stewardship to highlight the character of its hillside origin.
The profile opens with graceful layers of blackberry and blueberry, accented by delicate floral tones and subtle mineral hints. On the palate, a firm yet refined structure supports fresh, vibrant energy, revealing notes of stewed dark fruit intertwined with gentle peppery warmth. As the flavors unfold, a clean, lightly saline impression extends the finish, giving the overall experience both tension and elegance. The result is a refined and expressive offering that captures the signature depth and hillside freshness of its unique terrain.
