The existing vines are spur-pruned on sandy loam flecked with quartz, and the team hand-prunes, thins shoots and thins bunches to hold the crop where it needs to be for the lifted, violet-scented profile Michael Downer wants. Fruit for the 2022 was hand-picked and fully destemmed, then racked to French barrique at 10 per cent new for ten months. Chinon and Bourgueil are the reference points, and this is among the better work under the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-toned and pure, with raspberry, violet and a green-peppercorn snap. Richer in weight than the previous release, balanced and bright. Serve at 15 degrees, slightly below room temperature, with roast chicken, charcuterie or a lentil and mushroom braise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
