The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes and raised in oak casks.
Taste
The bouquet of violets and black fruit is elegant and this is observed in the mouth, giving depth and a silky texture to the wine with a fine persistence.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. Recent vintages may be decanted to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- The mild Winter meant that vegetation growth started early; we began debudding mid-April and with fine sunny weather the vine developed and flourished gradually in good conditions. The Summer was very dry which accelerated the maturing process with a lower yield but a high aromatic concentration for the Pinot Noir grape; for the Chardonnay however, the conditions were satisfactory for both growth and maturity. The grape harvest commenced on 20 August. The red wines are deep, bright in colour, they reflect red fruit together with full and elegant tannins.
