No wood is used for the Côte de Léchet. Pale colour, a slightly smoky reduction. Tightly knit, with a fresh white fruit at the back and less honeyed.

A plenitude of citrus influences are present on the more obviously Chablis-like nose of algae, tidal pool and wet stone scents. There is a bit more volume and richness to the bigger-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the slightly warm finish that is supported by bitter lemon-tinged acidity. This isn’t as refined as the Vaucoupin but offers slightly better depth.
