From the Archive
Sourced from several parcels, totaling just under two hectares; Michel is often the first to pick in his area, preferring good acidity for freshness in the wines. The vines were planted in 1963 and 1993. This is full-bodied, with the classic Chassagne aromas of ripe yellow orchard fruit and resin.
A minerally expression drives this sleek white, whose flavors evoke white peach, white flowers and citrus oil. Light-bodied and intense, with fine length.
