"Superfloral und steinig zugleich, Bienenwachs, Akazienblüten, weisser Tee; dichter Gaumen, bleibt dabei elegant, ausgezeichnete Balance aus Frucht und Struktur, salin im Abgang, langanhaltend. Wenn nur der Preis nicht wäre..."

2022 Vintage | Tasted: Jul 2024
"This is showing peach, lemon-rind, hazelnut, pie-crust and spiced-apple aromas. It’s medium- to full-bodied with compact, concentrated and subtly nutty layers. Long and focused. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
About This Wine
This White Wine is described as Buttery and Complex. It features food pairings such as Manchego and Parmesan. Typically, Parmesan gets paired with a robust Tuscan red, but this wine offers a unique match.
The vineyard, Les Preuses, is probably taken from the word “Perreuse” (stone), the name given to the ancient Roman road which ran below the current vineyard. Made for ageing thanks to a dense, compact, clay-rich soil resting on a limestone bed.
Winemaking involves 60-70% fermented in french oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel vats. The ageing process consists of 14 or 15 months of maturation, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in french oak barrels, for 50 to 60% of the harvest. The end of maturation occurs in stainless steel vats.
Tasting Notes
Floral nose, with fruity aromas enhanced by intense mineral notes and developing lightly smoky touches. Very round on the palate, both full-bodied and refined.
