Tasting Note
Concentrated dark cherry, bramble and raspberry with violet florals, forest‑floor and savory spice. Fine‑grained, chalky tannins support mid‑to‑full body, bright acidity and a long mineral finish — shows power and elegance; will cellar well.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested Pinot Noir; fermentation often in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, variable destemming; aged ~18 months in French oak (new oak for grand crus).
