ST 93
The 3.2 acre "La Moutonne" monopole ("sole ownership") is the crown jewel of the Domaine. Most of the walled vineyard lies within the boundaries of Grand Cru Vaudesirs, but it overflows slightly into the Grand Cru Le Preuses as well. The steep, amphitheatre-shaped vineyard is south-facing and rests on clay-rich limestone. Optimum soil, perfect exposure, and protection from the cold north wind impart the unique character of this Grand Cru, which rivals the power and richness of a Grand Cru from the C'te-d'Or.
A drier style of kabinett, balanced on the acidic side, with an austere profile. This etches its nectarine and lime flavors in relief and leaves a mouthwatering impression. Best from 2010 through 2022. 450 cases made. –BS
