The page conflicts internally on vine age, describing the vines both as approximately thirty years old and as 25 to more than 70 years old, so no vine-age claim is proposed.
Tasting Notes Hazelnut, acacia flower, fresh butter, gunflint and fresh pear; broad, mineral and velvety palate with persistent fine, nearly saline bitters.
Food Pairing Pan-fried sea bream with beurre blanc and crisp vegetables
