Winemaker Notes:

"The parcel is 1.05 hectares. South-facing, lower part of hillside, stony clay-limestone soils. Average age of the vines is 60 years old but the oldest part of the parcel was planted in 1953. (The name of the parcel is Les Crais) 

Pascal's parcel was planted in the 1950s on the north side of the appellation and deep in the valley, where there is a high content of active limestone. This is a powerful terroir, with assertive stoniness and near painful acidity, and Pascal’s translation of it is a wine as potently energetic as the first cup of coffee in the morning. It is a wine of cravings." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
