Description

This steep, north-facing vineyard sits north of the A6 motorway. It’s very dry, perhaps due to the intervention of the autoroute. Ben says it is alright at the moment, but drought might compromise it in a couple of decades. There was no whole bunch this year with the same crunchy fruit as the village wine, but more detail and layers.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 87-90/100

Full mid purple. A slight reduction here, but note that the Haut Jarrons has not yet been racked at all. It soon blows off to leave a good volume of dark raspberry fruit, with a firmer finish behind, good acidity, but this is also higher octane at 14.8% alcohol.

Drink 2027 - 2033
