The fruit was hand harvested between September 26th and October 25th, 2019. After a 5 to 7 day cold soak, the grapes underwent traditional vinification methods including foot crushing, whole cluster fermentation with native yeast, malolactic fermentation on lees and gravity transfer (no pumping). The wine was aged in François Frères barrels (Bertrange Forest) for 17 months and bottled unfiltered.
Nose: Very fragrant and fine, with a range of very distinctive and appealing aromas (raspberry, plum, cherry, rose petal, vanilla, toast, spicy oak, white pepper, black tea).
Palate: Supple and full-bodied with surprising richness, excellent depth and flavor (similar to nose), good balance, and a very long, toasty finish.
Summary: Outstanding; one of the best vintages yet. It displays terrific fruit flavor and intensity, wonderful balance, and very positive length. Now hitting its stride; a wonderful wine likely to drink beautifully through 2028. Very high quality for an Estates blend!
