Tasting Notes

Rich, concentrated flavors of stone fruit and citrus peel are layered with toasted bread and beeswax-like depth. Vinous and full-bodied with vibrant acidity, it finishes long and saline with a finely integrated mousse.

Food Paring

Pair with oysters, caviar, or sashimi to highlight its saline finish and energetic acidity. It also excels with roast chicken, lobster, or truffle dishes where its toastiness and structure can shine.

Professional Reviews

97 James Suckling

"Very pronounced and wonderfully complex nose of persimmon, egg yolk, cinnamon, tarte tatin, caramel, mango pastry, apricot tart and spice box. The full-bodied palate feathers a fine line between sheer power, luscious dried fruit and laser-guided acidity. Very long and intense on the finish. Drink now or hold. Disgorged 13 November 2018"

Regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhône Valley are benchmarks for quality and tradition.
