About the wine

Tasting notes

A most serene nose of vanilla flan with hints of smoke and fresh mushroom duxelles comes with a salty edge. The palate is creamy yet absolutely taut. This is incisive and presents a profound impression of chalk that slowly spreads across the palate. Incredible depth, laser precision and absolute definition unite into deliciousness. A landmark you can drink until 2050.

Expert review

This mouthwatering version offers a creamy, lightly mouthcoating texture, providing a fine, cashmere-like wrap around the steely spine of acidity. Bright and deftly knit, offering a lovely range of ripe white cherry and apricot fruit, fleur de sel, brioche and crystallized honey flavors. Briny mineral and oyster shell notes linger on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
