Vinified with indigenous yeasts, without fining, without filtration and without any addition of sulphur, La Prairie du Haut 2021 has benefited from more than three years of ageing in demi-muids, followed by an additional year in the bottle before being put on the market.
The nose reveals a complex and refined aroma, mixing notes of ripe yellow fruits, citrus zest and dried flowers. With aeration, deeper nuances of dried fruit, wax and a marked mineral framework, inherited from the marl-limestone soil, appear. On the palate, the attack is ample and structured, carried by a dense and enveloping substance. The natural freshness of Savagnin rose perfectly balances the richness resulting from long maturation. The texture is deep, almost tactile, with a beautiful underlying energy. The aromatic evolution is gradual and complex, revealing a great mastery. The finish is long, persistent and intensely mineral.
