"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%
