Though coming from up on the slope in the Côte de Bréchain, there is a lot of clay here, making what Benoît calls "a comfortable wine" that is rounded and easy to appreciate. Green apple and white nectarine slide from the soft nose onto the rather gourmand, or gluttonous, palate. Yet the finish tightens up with a pleasantly tugging dryness that harnesses the long, fruit-filled finish.
