Formely known as `Clepsydre`, now re-named and carrying the name of its Lieu Dit starting with the 2017 vintage.
 
Whereas previously the wine was a selection of the oldest fruit, Anne-Sophie has decided to take the selection one step farther and make it a selection of the best fruit from the old vine parcel. Les Labourons is the name of the lieu dit in Fleurie.
