Production Details The exact-vintage trade sheet reports 15 months of maturation in barrel and traditional viticulture and recommends serving at 9–12°C, conflicting with the producer's 16°C recommendation. The producer identifies a 0.41-hectare parcel and says, at estate-wide rather than cuvée-specific scope, that malolactic fermentation for the 2022 whites progressed orderly from primary fermentation. A producer-hosted Wine Spectator review reports 275 cases made and 60 cases imported.
Tasting Notes John Gilman 2022 review: pear, hazelnut, minerality, passion fruit, iodine, white flowers and vanillin oak; bright, full-bodied and elegant, with zesty acidity, focus and grip
Food Pairing Fish and seafood; also chicken or pork
