Fun Facts: This 2003 vintage release comes from two lieu-dits in the village of Oeuilly: “Four à Chaux” and “La Perchape”. They were each vinified individually (as are all the parcels at Tarlant) and these two plots were chosen in a blind tasting to be blended and released as a "snapshot" of the vintage.
