A great vintage that has seen exceptionally ripe fruits and an early harvest, with acidity level sits at 7g/l, lower than this wine's average. The percentage of Pinot Meunier (30%), on the other hand, is higher than usual. The nose is honeyed and aromatic, with blossom, yellow apple, freshly-picked raspberry and candied orange slices. A ripe palate of acacia honey-glazed lemon, yellow apple and red berries, seasoned with a pinch of cinnamon. Lemon curd and lime zest on the finish. Will certainly gain more complexity and charm with longer ageing under the cork.
