Biodynamic. This site takes its name from the vineyard’s abundance of dandelions (dent-de-lion—‘lion’s tooth’—in French). The original 0.4 hectares of vines were planted in 2000 at a density of 11,111 vines per hectare, with a further 2.8 hectares planted between 2018 and 2020, though the majority of the fruit for this wine (89%) comes from the 2000 plantings. The biodynamically farmed Lion’s Tooth is a steeply inclined, east-facing site on soils described as having a “nut and crumb structure and great mineral fertility”. It’s the classic limestone and clay of the area but with a higher balance of clay (30%) than Field of Fire.

”Light straw with aromas of nectarine and grapefruit with hints of soft spice, oyster shell, lemon curd, white flowers, clover blossom, crushed flint, grilled cashews and Graham crackers. Taut, febrile and filigreed with a sapid, saline burst of acidity that perfectly balances the richness of the stone fruits as the wine trails away.”
