Vinified partly in oak and without malolactic fermentation, it is a cuvée shaped for clarity and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “infusion” method, where Pinot Noir undergoes a brief maceration before blending, brings delicacy to the colour and fragrance. After several years resting on lees, it emerges with an elegance that is quietly powerful, its pale salmon hue and persistent mousse signalling both finesse and depth. This is a wine made for the long arc of ageing, yet already poised in its expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NOSE\u003cbr\u003e – Pure red fruit\u003cbr\u003e Wild raspberries, redcurrants and cherries layered with almonds, dried flowers, spice and citrus zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePALATE\u003cbr\u003e – Silky yet taut\u003cbr\u003e A generous opening of ripe fruit evolves into a more chiselled frame of acidity, with flavours of red berries, brioche and a saline undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH\u003cbr\u003e – Mineral length\u003cbr\u003e Long and resonant with chalky freshness, lingering red fruit and a savoury, iodine edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Extremely subtle and delicate with an enveloping nose of tiny red berries and dried flowers; fabulous velvety texture; fine mousse; significant structure and ageing potential.”\u003c\/em\u003e – James Suckling, 98 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Aromas of sweet cherries, almonds, citrus and red berries; full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping with a pillowy mousse and long mineral finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 97 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Sizzles with energy; finely cut, crystalline and vibrant; chalk, mint, white flowers, cranberry and blood orange.
