Tasting Notes

An ever so slightly muted nose, the right side of reduction that serves to keep the wine fresh. There is more expression to the palate, which is fleshy, full of minerals, butter, hazelnut and stone characteristics. A structured, well-rounded and balanced Perrières. From the higher part of the Perrières vineyard, so particularly mineral even for Perrières. Aged in 20% new oak barriques, so there is minimal oak influence on the flavour of this wine.
