Sourced from a high-altitude site near Les Rieux in which Gilles owns 1.2 total hectares, this combination of two-thirds Marsanne and one-third Roussanne fermented in steel and spent six months in wood before bottling. It offers a nice sense of equilibrium (even at higher degrees of alcohol), with notes of honey and almond nougat framing a thick blast of apricot.
