From older vines planted in 1975, this wine was fermented in 100% French oak (only 30% new) and aged for 13 months sur-lie. This wine displays aromas of ripe Asian pears, white nectarines, roasted hazelnuts, star jasmine and crème brûlée. Your palate is filled with flavors of ripe nectarine, pear, citrus zest, mineral and toasted vanilla beans. The texture is opulent, velvety and focused with a citrusy palate-cleansing finish. This wine shows wonderful clarity, persistence and refinement.
