Tasting
The wine is full, rich and supple, fully expressing the fruity side of Pinot Noir. Red fruits dominate (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant). Its abundant freshness makes it very pleasant and easy to drink.
We advise keeping it for 5 to 8 years, although it is drinkable earlier for those lacking patience.
Vintage
A no doubt exceptional vintage is in the making. The summer was hot with wet passages abundant in August.
We harvest from 1 to 12 September a perfect maturity and in a perfect state of health.

Chardonnay are already very expressive, with lovely notes of summer fruits, balanced by an impressive crispness and richness in the mouth.
Pinot Noir are showing some intense, bright colors, vintage gourmet with notes of red berries, the tannins are silky and rounded will reveal its full splendor in years to come.
