Importer notes: "The Vacheron cousins own 1 hectare of vines in the lieu-dit of Le Paradis. Their plot is on a steep south-facing slope with shallow limestone soils. The soil is so thin and poor that the vine roots grow deeply into fissures in the bedrock below. Le Paradis is an explosively aromatic wine, dense on the palate with a broad mineral character kept in check by a sinuous acidity that keeps things lively."
2022 vintage rated 93 points by James Suckling: "A seductive white that’s textural and broad, yet it has verticality and sharpness. Aromas of dried lemon peel, white peaches, flowers and stones. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Well structured, precise and focused, with a stony, mineral core bringing vitality and drive. Fresh and attractive. Drink or hold."
