From shallow and impovished soils in lieux-dit ‘Les Chevalières’, a hillside climat facing northeast.

Primrose.  On entry she’s feathery with stature; her cooling inferences run to verbena, citrus, friable stone.  Then it builds in the mouth, riper flavors, adamant ’09 fruit with a streak of tropical lushness.  Cleansing finish with first-rate detail.  Diligent Chevalières.  Just about ready.  Now – 2018.
