The Wine

Pale gold in colour with a delicate bead and persistent mousse. Intense, complex aromas of preserved lemon, poached pear and oyster shell with underlying nuances of truffle and roasted hazelnuts.

The Pinot Noir complements the structure of the Chardonnay with mouth-filling texture and opulent flavours of strawberry compote and rosewater. Nearly eight years ageing on lees has given this wine further complexity and added nuances of white nougat, truffle and roasted hazelnuts to create a rich and luxurious wine.
