Jane Anson: 94/100
White peach and pear flavours, good juicy stone fruits, nice kick of slate with plenty of structure through the palate, held in place by tension and grip. Harvest August 25 to 28. Ludovic Decoster owner and winemaker, 42hl/h yields, 2.4ha plot, on the lees for 9 months. Burgundy barrels, no new oak. Conversion to organic farming started in 2021

The 2023 Fleur Cardinale Blanc skips out with lively notes of lime leaves and freshly squeezed lemons plus wafts of green apples and chalk dust. The light-bodied palate is crisp and citrusy, with a well-sustained steely finish. The blend is 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Sauvignon Gris.
