The 2023 vintage suits Philippe’s style perfectly: reds with extended time in barrel for added finesse, seamless whole-bunch integration, minimal new oak, and a focus on purity of fruit and terroir. Elegant yet structured, they’re wines that can be enjoyed young or laid down to age gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"Limestone-clay; located on the foothills of the Pommard hill, it faces south.
