Craie Haute
Our highest parcel, where the chalk shows through the topsoil. Taut, saline and patient.
Craie Haute is the first row the sun reaches and the last to be picked. The vines root straight into broken chalk, which keeps the wine cool and saline however warm the summer. We press slowly, let it settle overnight and send it down to the gallery for a year before it ever sees a bottle.
