Tasting Notes

We have released the slow-maturing 2016 Cuvée following the more forward 2017 vintage to allow it to show its full potential. Now drinking beautifully with enticing notes of honeyed citrus, toasted almonds and brioche, the 2016 Cuvée has impressive depth and complexity, with that signature precision and elegance in spades. Displaying a delightful creaminess on the finish, it's delicious now, yet will also mature beautifully for a decade or more in the cellar.
