WinemakingRigorous grape sorting by hand on conveyor belt. Whole bunch gentle yet long pressing. Fermentation mostly in 500 lt. old French oak barrels. Lees aging for 20 months, with periodical stirring (bâtonnage).

Tasting NoteComplex nose with aromas of hazelnut, honeycomb, and apricot jam, together with elegant barrel notes of vanilla, milk chocolate and sweet spices. The palate is rich and oily, with a sharp acidity that offers beautiful crispness and balance. The concentration and the long finish stand out.

Ageing Potential10+ years
