- Background
- In 2014, Yann used local knowledge to add an exceptional Premier Cru vineyard. He now has a monopoly on this vineyard, which he calls, Montorge (the same as his estate name). Grown in limestone and clay soil, this single vineyard has perfect south-southeast exposure. Incredible value beyond its pedigree!
- Tasting Notes
- A relatively complex wine which combines a fruitiness and citrus component with the minerality of the terroir. The mouth feel follows the nose flavors with a certain power and gourmet feeling. Excellent finish and length!
