The classic wine from this producer reflects Bué’s chalky terroir beautifully with its paradoxical generous precision (concentrated elegance might be a better way of saying this). This is a blend of parcels from both soil types (with caillottes predominating) totaling just under 30 acres. Ferments are initiated with neutral organic yeast and élevage takes place in steel and concrete with lees stirring. First bottling is at nine months; last is at eighteen months. Minimal to no filtration and only a small dose of SO2. Production averages 6,000 cases in a normal year
