Unctuously toasty and yeasty. Ripe tropical fruits. Richly textured. 15 years on lees.

Thanksgiving dinner party opener. Unctuous. Ripe tropical fruits, Brioche, yeasty, hints of minerality, spices… long finish.

A single parcel of 65 year Chardonnay/Pinot Noir planted on pure chalk. Aged 14 years on the lees!!! Incredible length and texture, with 2g dosage to take the edge off the razor sharp acidity.
