The winemaker’s comment

• Taste the estate’s signature cuvée :the finest parcels, the most demanding vinification, and long, carefully mastered ageing.
• All to deliver a captivating, comforting wine, easy to get lost in. Think lightly jammy black fruits, a hint of Bourbon vanilla and sweet spices, carried by a velvety palate that walks the tightrope between richness and tenderness.

Food pairing

• To drink with a rabbit with olives (my mum’s recipe, of course), or a seven-hour slow-roasted leg of lamb.
