Owner's words
Elegant rather than fleshy, contained rather than opulent, the 2023 vintage boasts striking complexity and balance. A fine and refined wine which proudly holds its red character high, on the eye, nose and palate. The fresh, ripe red of redcurrant and blackcurrant. The fresh, floral red of morning rose. The woody red of cedar. The spicy red of pink pepper. A highly sophisticated character. Meticulous proportions and harmony. Sap, fruit and flower come together in this wine, all with the same subtlety. And depth, there’s no doubt about it. A synthesis of what mineral and vegetal do best when they rise to the challenge with artisanal skill.
