Batardiere 2022 L'Esprit Libre

L'Esprit Libre is from 3 parcels in the village of Rablay from vines aging from 15-90 years old, with plateaus of sandy soil and gravely soils of quartz over schist. The blend is assembled in stainless steel tanks before fermentation. Fermentations occur naturally, without the use of temperature control. The 2022 is in a lovely place, very inviting, direct and mineral-driven but with soft edges. At times there are hints of pear and lime flower, then it unfolds into sharp minerals and crispy acidity, and these two elements of fruit and stones continue to intermingle.
