From three neighbouring plots totalling one hectare on red clay soils in the lieu-dit Les Perruches. The vines here are about 40 years of age and the fruit is whole-bunch pressed and wild-yeast fermented in fibreglass tank to virtual dryness, followed by seven months maturation in tank on fine lees. Bottled 29 March 2023, with less than 2 g/L of residual sugar.
13.9 % alc/vol, 5.3 g/L TA, 0.9 g/L RS.

‘The vines are close to the première côte, on clay soils above Le Clos. This was vinified in fibreglass. I find dried citrus fruits on the nose, with a finely grained mineral substance, and plenty of crushed flint and gunpowder minerality. It feels a touch reductive, a characteristic which shapes the nose at the moment. The palate shows a charming sinew and a polished substance, with fresh and vibrant acidity, admirable for the vintage, which gives it great energy into the finish. Very fine potential here, so I look forward to revisiting this after bottling. The alcohol is said to be about 13.5%.’ (90-92) points, Chris Kissack, Wine Doctor, October 2023.

The red clay soil reveals itself in a denser palate with real substance, finishing longer than the Sang de Roche. Historically known as Les Perruches, this plot is now called Petrichor, in reference to the smell of the clay soil after rain.
