Tasting note
The wine shows great balance between weight and freshness, with elegance derived from seamless minerality. Layers of subtle fruit notes combine stone fruits, acacia flowers and spiced hazelnut butter. The finish is long, intense and spicy. A wine whose balance permits it to age gracefully.
Viticulture
Made from a single 2ha vineyard planted on limestone soil, where a third of the vines were planted in 2006, a third in 1986 and a third in 1956.
Vinification
Fermentation and ageing took place in barrels: a third in new barrels, a third in one year old barrel and a third in 2 years old barrels over 9 months. Ageing is then finished in stainless steel tanks on fine lees over a 5 month span.
Food Match
