fruit and structure

A Pauillac with such an enticing dark profile

there is no better candidate than a tasty Dolcetto

Citrus notes of ruby red grapefruit and lemon meringue dominate the finish

The hue of our Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Cailleret appears to be of a nice pale yellow

2018 was truly a stand-out vintage that’s accessible

white peaches and elderflowers on the nose

a sleek core of ripe Bing cherry and opulent berries brightens shades of dried thyme

Pretty floral perfumes of lavender and lily intermingle with traces of native summer forest and fungi

Fourteen days later the wine was pressed to all French oak
