William Fevre own six of the 15 ha of this vineyard and are therefore the biggest producer. One part is 4 ha with vines that are 60-70 years old, on the plateau facing south-west. The deep soil gives very approachable wine. The 2-ha plot is on a steep, south-facing slope above the river and gives a more mineral, austere wine labelled Cote Bouguerots (see Goedhuis tasting notes). They produce two very different wines. This example comes from the plateau, where high vine-training is needed. Yields have been reduced to give wines with concentration. For Didier this plot has improved the most. 45 hl/ha was a very good yield in 2020. High toned with lots of acidity. A bit more body than the Preuses and impressive green fruit on the finish. A good wine for food whereas the more delicate Preuses could be drunk without food. Juicy. Really gets the saliva flowing! [22/01/2022]
