Just one-quarter of the Lafarge parcel in the Clos des Aigrots is planted to Chardonnay at the top of the hill near the Clos des Mouches, but it produces the top white of the cellar. In 2022, it gave a wine with aromas of green apple and lemon peel with a touch of white flowers and spice. The texture is lively and very fine, with the structure for mid-term ageing. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters and fermented with most of their lees in cask – this is the only cuvée that gets a bit of new wood.
