The year 2012

2012 gave birth to one of the greatest Vintages of recent decades. The series of erratic weather events, including a harsh winter marked by severe frosts and a turbulent spring of rain and hail, fortunately gave way to fine weather in August. The beautiful summer sunshine enabled the grapes to reach a rare and exceptional level of ripeness, producing wines of remarkable concentration.

Tasting notes

Eye

Golden hue with green reflections, illuminated by a delicate stream of fine bubbles.

Nose

Precision and elegance intertwine in a complex bouquet of candied citrus fruit, hazelnut and acacia honey.

Palate

Dense and fresh on the palate, where flavours of blood orange and calisson unfold with great precision. The chalk and saline notes add a pure, and chiselled texture, while the dazzling finish reveals a characteristic freshness, the signature of the Vintage.
