Tasting Notes

The only L’Arlésienne aged in barrel, Corcelette is a blend of two high-altitude parcels on the north side of Morgon. There are 0.20 hectares of north-exposed 80-year vines in the Janins climat at 450 metres and 0.25 hectares in Truges (bordering Chiroubles Chatenay), where the vines are only slightly younger, and the parcel faces south. Both parcels are farmed biodynamically, which is exceptionally rare in this village. Benoît bottled these two sites separately in 2021 and may do so again in the future. In 2022, Janins was severely hailed, so he had no choice but to make the blend. It features just a little more bunch than the Chiroubles, and this wine was raised for 12 months in 500-litre oak. It’s an impressive wine: tightly wound yet with plenty of fruit and a long, powdery finish. Impressive!
