The fruit source is a densely-planted four hectares in Saint-Vérand with vines sited on a pocket of dark granite—a soil that partly accounts for the wine's Cru-level depth and minerality. The vine age also helps, ranging from 35 to 85 years. These vines typically produce a considerably deeper, plumper, silkier wine than the entry-level Griottes. The 2020 is a killer version of Origine: a marriage of pure, silky raspberry and floral fruit with filigreed tannins and fine acidity. A beauty.
