It shows the depth the domaine draws from this Côte Chalonnaise site, without relying on a Premier Cru designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 assessment published by the domaine highlights pure raspberry fruit, vigour and a soft texture, with maturation judged to sit comfortably within the wine.
