Production Details The grapes were hand-harvested. Forty percent of the cuvée was aged in 500 L French-oak barrels for 6 months, with up to 25% new oak, then blended and aged in tank for another 12–14 months. The sheet also summarizes maturation as 18 months on fine lees. It reports “Acidity: 2.89 g/L” without specifying the analytical basis, so that measurement is not proposed as unqualified total acidity.
Tasting Notes Lemon-gold; acacia, chamomile, honeysuckle-dusted McIntosh apple and persistent orange blossom; muscular, fulsome and relaxed palate
Food Pairing Pan-seared foie gras or poached turbot
