Description
Old vines in the gravelly lower part of this plot are vinified first with whole bunches; the upper part is then picked and mostly de-stemmed. The two together offer a dense black purple colour and fabulously rich fruit on the nose. A huge volume of swelling, dark fruit follows on the palate, along with more lifted red fruit character. This is very lovely, with no sign of tough tannins. Drink 2019-2024. 
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer

Picking began on 3rd September, not before, as the whites were not phenologically ripe earlier, and the acidity was stable. For the reds many more whole bunches have been used this vintage, given that the grapes were perfectly ripe. The reds are every bit the standard you would expect, but we were completely bowled over by the brilliance of the white wines here this year.
