Gorgeous nose, full and vivid but serious; ginger and mint over white-fleshed fruits. Full but not heavy, with a gently creamy mid-palate. Amazing salinity and balance, finishing light and fresh. Partly planted by Christine Vernay’s grandfather before the appellation was established: from two mid-slope parcels, one planted in the 1960s, one before 1940, amounting to 4ha. Vinified in foudres and barriques, 5% new oak, for 12 months. Organic.

Coteau de Vernon displays superb subtlety and complexity of aroma, with a dazzling finish. “Coup de Coeur”
95 points James Suckling
Aromas of citron, green apples, wild herbs, stones and some salty notes as well. Medium body with a very mineral and focused character on the palate. It’s vertical and savory. Great tension and balance with a vibrant, long, salty finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
