Ripe red cherry and raspberry, rose petal, subtle earth and iron notes, fine peppery spice, silky tannins and a mineral, persistent finish. Elegant yet concentrated vintage expression.

Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; mostly destemmed with some whole‑cluster use on select cuvées; gentle extraction in cement/stainless vats; élevage in French oak (≤30% new); minimal racking before bottling.
