Tasting Notes
This cru owes its name to its old mill dominating the valley, and its existence testifies to the regular and powerful winds that favour a good sanitary state for the plants. The “Les Vérillats” plot belongs to the greatest terroirs of the appellation. It produces grapes characterised by small berries, resulting in concentrated and complex wines. The nose offers aromas of fresh wild strawberries with floral notes. The mouthfeel is delicious, “salivating”, with very fine tannins and a slightly acidic structure. A wine that will surely last for a long time.
