Wine profile
Die Bezeichnung Côte aux Prêtres, oder “Priesterhügel”, spiegelt die Nähe des Weinbergs zum Pilgerweg von Vézelay nach Santiago de Compostela wider. Dieser einzigartige Weinberg befindet sich auf einem Hügel, dessen Kuppelform ihn sowohl dem Sonnenlicht als auch dem Wind aussetzt. Der Boden ist reich an kleinen Kimmeridger Kalksteinen. Nach der Handlese wurden die Trauben behutsam gepresst und einer langen, natürlichen Fermentation unterzogen. Der Côte aux Prêtres reifte in Tanks und großen Holzfässern und blieb dabei auf der Feinhefe. Der fertige Chablis wurde ohne Filtration und Klärung, lediglich mit einer geringen Schwefelzugabe, abgefüllt.

Appearance
The straw yellow of this wine tends towards a strong tone.

Scent
The Côte aux Prêtres 2020 unfolds a pure, fleshy, robust and mineral aroma that creates excitement from the first sniff. Reminiscent of the juice of cédrats and Amalfi lemons, it also has a note of bergamot and manages to convey an idea of a spoonful of sweet and creamy lemon curd. In contrast to the absolute purity of Montserre, it has charming and invitingly warm accents of yellow apple and a touch of white peach. Accompanying notes of mint and bay leaf mingle with the typical hints of oyster shell and flint.

Taste
On the tongue, the Côte aux Prêtres unfolds an intense, exciting presence with a wonderfully concentrated, salty character. A fascinating combination of green, yellow and orange citrus notes, some stone and pome fruit, almonds, rock salt and white pepper determine the taste picture. The minerality is exciting, the acidity holds the tension from beginning to end and the texture is seductively creamy, yet finely marked by the phenolic. An impressive experience!
