Terrior:
The vineyard of Le Cras lies on a steep, limestone-dominant slope, contributing to the wine’s striking minerality and finesse. The sunny 2020 vintage allowed for exceptional ripening, balanced by Burgundy's characteristic cool nights.

Appearance:
A pale, golden straw hue with silver flecks, exuding youthful vibrancy and clarity.

Palate:
Crisp and well-structured, showcasing layers of lemon curd, juicy peach, and a backbone of flinty minerality. The creamy texture, enhanced by gentle lees stirring, is balanced by lively acidity, delivering a harmonious and vibrant mid-palate.

Finish:
A long, elegant finish with lingering notes of citrus, chalky minerality, and a delicate nuttiness, leaving a clean and refreshing impression.
