Pierre Précieuse 2022, 33 mois

On the Les Courtes Échines plot, Sauvignon Blanc is rooted in soil where stone almost everywhere. An austere terroir in appearance, yet it gives birth to a wine of astonishing depth.

Pierre Précieuse opens with a ripe, almost tactile fruit, as if you were biting into a Sauvignon berry at harvest time. Then the wine changes register. The texture stretches out, the stone gradually takes over, bringing a saline sensation and an energy that long accompany the tasting.

After thirty-three months of aging, nothing seems ostentatious. Everything is in place. The texture, tension and time work in the same direction.

A great gastronomic white, at once ample, precise and deeply mineral, which will accompany roasted turbot, poultry with morels or an aged Crottin de Chavignol cheese equally well.
