A light-footed new counterpart to Mikaël's crowd-pleasing French Clara, and much like that wine, it is incredibly easy get on with - perfect fare for the table or a bottle to open when nothing too demanding is required. It's from a young vineyard, certainly one to watch as it grows in age for is made from massale selection vines that originate from the fabled Clos Roche Blanche, once the home of Noëlla Morantin, now in the hands of Laurent Saillard and Julien Pineau. But for now, the wine it is yielding is youthful, fresh and for early drinking. 100% Côt with some fresh forest berries and iodine minerality. The grapes were de-stemmed and given a short maceration of just 3 days, then raised in steel for 6 months before bottling with no additions. Smooth and soft, it's brisk on the palate and keeps you coming back for more - best served with a light chill.
