Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A radiant pale gold, gaining depth and richness with maturity.
• Aromas: A refined and powerful nose, featuring layers of preserved lemon, patisserie notes, fresh hazelnut, and a profound, crystalline minerality. The subtle oak is seamlessly integrated, allowing the pure Chardonnay fruit to shine.
• Taste: The palate is both ample and beautifully restrained, showcasing immense concentration and a vibrant, racy acidity that drives the flavour through to an astonishingly long, chalk-laced finish. It is a wine of sublime elegance and power.

Serving Suggestions & Food Pairings

A wine of this stature deserves the very best. Decant if serving young, and ensure a serving temperature of 12-14°C (54-57°F).

• Recommended Pairings: Poached Turbot with Hollandaise, Grilled Lobster with fine Herb Butter, or classic Dover Sole Meunière.
• Collector’s Note: This is a true cellar treasure with decades of aging potential.
