Bright red cherry, raspberry and kirsch with violet florals, a hint of forest floor and fine, well-integrated oak. Silky tannins, lively acidity and a stony, precise finish; elegant and focused, with youthful energy.

Production Method
From rare ungrafted (franc de pied) old-vine Pinot Noir; hand-harvested, fermented in small vats with gentle extraction and matured in seasoned/neutral oak. Low yields, minimal intervention to showcase terroir.
