Promoted to Premier Cru 20 years ago Sous Fretille is South facing, on a steep slope above the village consisting of shallow clay-limestone soil, rich in small stones and a marly-limestone subsoil similar to Corton-Charlemagne. Yet, saying it's like a baby Corton would be an injustice because it has it's own unique and compelling characteristics. Aromatics are crystalline and intense consisting of white flower, lemon zest, knotted cream, and crushed rocks. The palate offers an incredibly focused lens into the terroir with impeccable balance and length. If I had to pick my favorite, this wine would be it. The only tragedy is that very little was made in 2024. Extremely Limited
