Product Overview
An enchantingly direct and expressive nose, with notes of toasted hazelnuts and yellow fruits (apricot, mirabelle). The wine presents a beautiful and frank mouth, with smoke, red fruits, and chalky earth, elegant and pure with light lees flavors and toasty brioche. Minimalist but very accurate balance sugar-acid that shows less dry than that because of the vinosity imparted by the old vines. Pairs with oysters, fresh or smoked salmon, fish verrines, and shrimp brochette with curry.
Based on 52% of the 2014 vintage, the reserve wines are a solera of the years 2010-13 and lend a depth of flavor that is quite palpable. Dry but far from austere.
