Tasting notes
The nose is clear and intense, with ripe white Pinot aromas as well as delicate and spicy limestone aromas. Elegant, lush, and intense on the palate, this is a finely tannic and rich Pinot with a fine oxidative tone and a long, intense, structured, and substantial finish. This is something different from Alsace.
