Disgorged 2012, dosage 3 gr/l. Lovely blood orange colour, very fine bead; deep nose, orange and sweet raspberry, hint of sous-bois and wonderfully perfumed floral topnotes; creamy and silky palate, the ripeness of the 2009 vintage balanced beautifully by the mineral freshness of 2008, quite full-bodied, pure; good length.
Minimal intervention, whole bunch fermentation, three months in large oak, low sulphur, unfined and unfiltered, 250 cases produced. Deliciously pure varietal nose, expressive and high-toned, flowers, spice, minerals and fruit; sweet fruit, medium weight, energetic and fresh, very juicy and pure, just the right tannic grip; good flavour intensity and length. Quite delicious, to be enjoyed in its youth.
