Tasting Notes

The 2015 vintage opens with a vibrant and complex nose of ripe orchard fruits—pear, apple, and white peach, intertwined with delicate notes of citrus zest, acacia blossom, and toasted almond. Subtle hints of vanilla, buttered brioche, and wet stone reveal the wine’s careful aging and Burgundian terroir.

On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with a beautifully creamy texture balanced by fresh, lively acidity. Flavors of baked apple, lemon curd, and stone fruit are complemented by savory nuances of hazelnut, spice, and chalky minerality. The finish is long, pure, and elegant, leaving lingering impressions of citrus, toasted oak, and a subtle saline note.
