Robert Parker: ""Layered with more texture and concentration than many of its peers... beautiful, intriguing bouquet.""

Winemaking was careful and low-temperature (vinified slowly at ~25°C) to preserve aromatic lift; ageing for 18 months in oak adds spice and gentle toast. The 2013 season brought uneven weather and smaller berries, leading to lower yields but very concentrated material; meticulous sorting at harvest ensured only ripe, balanced parcels reached the cellar. Vineyards are planted on gravel, sand and clay soils, whose gentle slopes ensure excellent drainage. The subsoil is made up of fossils and marine sediments, which give the wines a certain freshness. The nose opens with layered dark and red berry notes, tobacco leaf, cedar and a mineral suggestion. On the palate it is lively and sculpted — fresh acidity frames concentrated fruit while fine, grainy tannins provide structure without aggression.
