"The inaugural 2024 l'Étoile Clos du Château only filled five 228-liter barrels. Grown in a plot near the winery with thin, calcareous clay soils, the 2024 opens with fragrant notes of oyster shell, lemon flesh and green apple. Flinty nuances add another layer of detail. Medium-bodied and intricate, the 2024 balances elevated flavor concentration with bright acidity and culminates with vibrant freshness on the complex finish."
