For a region and history so focused on the site and the fruit, this decision in the winemaking lends a vibrant and unique texture, imparting a cooling and clear quality that lingers on the palate and separates this wine from the pack. The less oxidative and more circular quality of amphorae means that certain things are dialled up, and others dialled down, really interesting to see which layers sing and which hold it together. Mostly, we are captivated with its superb acidity and intriguing complexity. A hint of reduction and a touch of wet wool funk add layers of interest to the nose, leading into a palate that is harmonious and beautifully shaped. To have clarity and richness, reminiscent of aged Premier and Grand Cru wines, is such an exciting thing in a young wine. Reminded of Chablis from decades past.
