Tasting Notes

An extraordinary and elegant expression of Pinot Meunier from some of the oldest vines of the variety in the world. Aromas lead with spiced cherry, supported by delicate layers of peppercorn, dried herbs, graphite, asphalt, and petrichor. The palate is smooth and light yet deeply flavorful, with savory complexity and remarkable finesse. Subtle hints of flaked milk chocolate linger softly on the finish, adding charm to a wine that is both captivating in youth and capable of exceptional aging.
