When to drink this wine? : 2025 - 2035
Incredibly complex nose of dried flowers, beeswax and candied citrus peel. However, the play of richness and freshness on the palate surpasses it. Extremely long finish where the fine tannins are develop and strengthen to a salty climax. A cuvée made from Clairette with Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and a little Bourboulenc. Some vines are over a century old, but the majority are between 40 and 50 years old .
