The vines that plunge the deepest into the tuffeau below are bottled separately, with the Vieilles Vignes cuvée comprising parcels ranging from 50 to 80 years of age. Despite the expected increase in concentration and structure with this wine compared to Les Sables, the same sense of freshness permeates this wine—making it “très digeste” indeed. Tannins are again graceful, but the underlying minerality is more assertive here, contributing a salty-savory edge to the fruit.
