The top cut, off a mere four hectares Pinot Noir, eighteen different rootstock and clone, all picked by hand and separately fermented. Parcels are treated to minimalist vinification and the extravagance of a Vaslin Bucher basket press, followed by a year in the finest French oak barriques and three years cellaring before release. Assembled for eloquence and complexity, a strict cull of twenty barrels brings the final Cuvée into amazing focus. Filled of red and black fruit flavour, cherries and plum, the succulence of its exquisite acid line, draped in a pleat of undulating, velvety tannins.
