“Pungent aromas of wood toast and reduction mask the underlying fruit. There is outstanding density to the delicious, caressing and exceptionally pungent larger-scaled flavors that exude evident minerality on the clean, dry and beautifully long finale. This is unusually good for its level.”

Winemaker Notes:

” Blend of six different parcels from a selection of old vines. Some vineyards are in the hills Vireuils and Meix Chavaux and contribute freshness and tension, others at bottom of hills just under the 1er crus Marcausses, Vignes Blanches and Pellans contribute body, and the parcel of Millerands rests on gravel and gives finesse. Vines are trained 1/3 Cordon de Royat and 2/3 Guyot. Pneumatic pressing and static settling. Aged in barrels with 20% new wood for 12 months before being racked into stainless steel tanks for 6 months.”

Alcohol: 13.5%
