WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
To make a great vintage, a number of favorable elements have to come together at the same time and in the same place. Such was the case for the year 2015. Throughout the winter, thanks to significant rainfall, the soils were able to restore their reserves of water. In the springtime, the weather was dry and sunny, giving rise to excellent flowering and creating perfect health conditions at the beginning of the season. A very hot summer followed. The slight rainfall in July and August accompanied the vines and provided optimal conditions for total completion of their growing cycle, with no water stress whatsoever. The lovely Indian summer which followed in September brought the late-ripening grapes to perfect maturity.
Slightly lighter in color, distinctive aromatic expression redolent of white fruit. Great fullness, fleshy and round with our signature lingering, fresh finish, the expression of our greatest terroirs. This vintage is comparable to the great 1995 and 2000 years.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Delicious with Lamb curry, poultry in cream sauce, bouillabaisse, paella, Asian cuisine, goat cheeses.
ACCOLADES:
