It was Michel Bettane, the influential French critic, who encouraged Francis Egly to bottle this single vineyard wine separately, with the first release based on the 1989 harvest. This latest offering was bottled after the 2018 base had spent close to one year in cask before blending with 50% reserve wines from the 2017 vintage. The vinification and aging for both vintages took place in barrel.
