The aromas here are dense with plum, fig, ripe mulberry and hints of earth, menthol, spice and smoke. Impressive density and weight on the palate lead the wine to a lingering finish. Eminently ageworthy, this has the most concentration and depth of the range. Labelled MMXXII, the cuvée is produced with grapes from the domaine's oldest vines (more than a century old) in the climats of Côte de Py and Douby, given a maceration of up to 36 days and nine months ageing in used casks.
Rated 95/100 Decanter Magazine
This has rose hips, petals, orange zest, cherries, crushed stone and even a touch of walnuts on the nose. It’s tight and firm with mineral notes and a medium to full body. Firm tannins. Structured and very focused. Dried herb and stone notes linger. Unfiltered. Try after 2025.
