Production Details For the 2021 release, fermentation lasted 4 weeks in French oak barrels, followed by 18 months of maturation in French oak barrels, 50% new, housed in 19th-century cellars. The importer recommends serving at 12–14°C and cellaring for more than 10 years. Its stated vineyard area of 1.52 acres conflicts with the current producer figure of 0.86 ha (2.14 acres) across four parcels, so no settled vineyard-area value is proposed.
Tasting Notes Fruity, oaky and floral aromas; concentrated, full-bodied palate with balance, aromatic generosity and persistence
