Pretty rose petal, red cherry and orange blossom are emphasised by the brightness of aroma. The ripe, fleshy fruit rounds out the mid-palate and the plush texture gives density to the overall structure of this mid-bodied wine. The juicy acidity with cherry skin and crushed velvet tannins are balanced with a presence and depth of fruit. Flavours include dark cherry, red cherry pie crust, clove spice and wild strawberry. All this is capped by a saline undertone that leads to a tapered finish. The wine rested in barrel for eleven months. A small number of artisanal coopers were selected, all from Burgundy and only French oak was chosen. Importantly, each clone and soil type was micro vinified as separate batches. In 2019 21.8% new oak; 76.1% 228 l and 23.9% 500 l.
