Product Description

Tasting Notes
Bold and complex with a frank attack, revealing citrus aromas, dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla, and toasted nuances. The palate is harmonious, round, vinous, and deeply satisfying, with fresh tension balanced by creamy richness and a long, mineral finish.
Vinification
Fermented in French oak barrels (30% less than 4 years old, 70% over 5 years old) without malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. The wine ages 7 years on lees in bottle before disgorgement with a minimal 5g/L dosage.
