Sourced from biodynamically tended 70-year-old vines, there's density, structure and power behind this wine. Beautiful floral, spicy, black fruit notes. Full and fine on the palate with a beautiful fruit and silky tannins.
*Remark* N.B. Docteur en Lettres, Charlotte is an ancient manuscripts specialist. Her research has led her to countries like China and Ethiopia, where she learned the traditional methods of making papyrus from plants, as well as the art of natural pigments. The domaine's bottles are labelled by hand, some of them with paper produced on site using vine cuttings and local herbs.
