GRAND VINTAGE COLLECTION 2000

tasting notes

Composition

Pinot Noir 34%, Chardonnay 50%, Meunier 16% 

Contains sulphites

COLOR

Golden and iridescent yellow reflections.​

NOSE

Initial reductive notes : mocha, toast, tobacco, smoky. 
Gradually given way to sweet and sugary notes: nougatine, honey, resin, and vanilla.
Then, the fruit asserts itself and radiates, rising to intense and smooth bouquet with summery flavors of peach, apricot, fig, refreshed by undertones of jasmine and hawthorn. 

PALATE

The initial power has melded into a generous opulence. The body is well-developed, broad, and the texture is smooth.
The sensation of sweetness and smoothness of summer stone fruits is evident.
The extended finish persists with menthol and spicy notes.
