A warm and dry spring followed by a summer punctuated with perfectly timed rain events, was otherwise low in humidity. The autumn harvest period was dry and protracted with vintage conditions best described as on the warm side of perfect. This dry weather in late summer and early autumn hastened ripening of the Pinot. Mild end to the season saw all varieties ripen perfectly with high natural acidity, fine fruit structure and silky tannins.

Warm, opulent and filled with aromas of sautéed wild sweet cherry, freshly baked fruit muffins and underlying earth, star anise and charry notes.

Abundant sweet red fruits, savoury mushroom and spice with a hint of sappyness from the inclusion of a small percentage of stalks in the fermentation. The ample fine fruit tannins provide structure to the rich fruit weight and a distinct mineral acidity deftly finishes the wine.

Deep garnet.

Duck confit with puy lentils, creamy bleu St.Augur.
