This is also reduced enough to mask the nuances of what appear be ripe red berry aromas. More interesting are the energetic and agreeably fresh middleweight flavors that brim with minerality on the youthfully austere, focused and beautifully balanced finale.

50% whole bunch vinification. Glowing purple. The fruit smells as if it was picked on the perfect day. A grace and density with succulent raspberry strawberry fruit, perfect structure behind. Effortless, fine, structured but above all the fruit.
Amélie Berthaut calls the Arvelets' the cuvée of my grandfather', who purchased the 0.70-hectare site. She has taken extraordinary pains here since hail damage in the final week of June necessitated complicated sorting. However, the wine is a triumph, with concentrated blackberry and mulberry fruit and hints of earth, smoke, and spice. She has fermented half the grapes as whole clusters (where there was no damage), and has been very careful with the extraction to achieve this model of depth and concentration. (Drink between 2027-2055)
