Production Details Sémillon was harvested in two passes to capture freshness and richness. Grapes were picked in small crates, meticulously sorted and cold-pressed before vinification in French oak barrels made by the producer's Pauillac cooperage. The proportion of new wood varied but did not exceed 60%. The wine matured in the same barrels on its lees for about eight months.
Tasting Notes Bright pale green with golden hues; apricot, passion fruit, blackcurrant, candy and slightly buttery oak aromas; lively, structured and powerful palate with creamy texture and a fine-grained fresh-pear finish.
