Why it’s different

Balance and maturity

The exceptional quality of the grapes from the 2012 harvest produced one of the best vintage wines of the decade, with wines of great aromatic finesse, combining intensity and power. Vinification, partly in traditional barrels, brought out a broad and generous character of subtle elegance.

This cuvée, golden yellow in colour and animated by a crystalline effervescence, is characterised by notes of ripe fruit, enriched by a refined floral persistence. The perfect balance between a subtle minerality and hints of pear clafoutis and Bourbon vanilla unfolds in a vinous finish with spicy overtones.
