The Sous Frétille vineyard is also steeply-sloping, but in this case facing due south. The vines are above the village and its colourful church spire, visible to all who approach. Pebble-rich soils are shallow, yields never plentiful. One third of the Pavelot vines are 80 years old, with the average age of the whole plot being around 50 years. The wine aged in oak barrels for a year, and was bottled in December 2023. Colour is lemon-golden, aromas are piercingly fresh and ripe. The palate is full and broad, with creamy, fresh aftertaste, very long (for drinking 2025-2030+).
