Production Details Careful vineyard work and strict selection during harvest produced healthy, fully ripe fruit.

Tasting Notes Stephan Reinhardt, tasting at the domaine in August 2024 from AP 15 23 and rating it 95+ points, described an intense, slightly flinty and saline nose with super-ripe elegant cherry and slightly brown-apple fruit; a silky, lush, full-bodied and balanced palate; and a long, dense, crystalline, persistently saline finish.
Food Pairing Entre-côte with truffle jus, green beans and parsley potatoes; glazed duck breast with shallot jus; when mature, braised meat dishes. Decant and serve from a large glass.
