A wine with a pungent perfume and exotic, fully tropical fruit of ripe mango and passionfruit with an edge of saffron and spice; as with all the Bongran wines, however, there is no oak, just a very long, slow maturation in tank and bottle. An exceptional, rare wine. Occasionally botrytis will develop in a small section of the northern portion of this vineyard in Quintaine. This tiny portion of the vineyard holds enough moisture for botrytis to develop fully, necessitating picking grape by grape, with yields of around seven to nine hl/ha.
