Production Details 2024 Edition: Perpétuité is an annually refreshed perpetual reserve. The same producer sheet contains an internal archive-text discrepancy: its narrative says the reserve contains 13 wines from 2002–2018, while its detailed MILLÉSIMES line enumerates 17 base years through 2023. The producer’s 2021 newsletter likewise described that release-era reserve as 13 wines from 2002–2018 and stated that the estate’s still-wine-dedicated parcels were organically cultivated.
Tasting Notes Brilliant gold; floral aroma reminiscent of white Burgundy; initially fresh and lively, becoming rich and round; gentle bitterness on the finish; terpene character and pronounced minerality.
