Cellar Master

the palate

90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir

The nose is cool and soothing and the palate is a veritable iceberg of power and equilibrium and while we can only sense the scale of grandeur of this wine

and abundant fresh fruit such as citrus fruits

The site benefits from a semicontinental maritime climate and free-draining chalk soils

combining charming fruit with mineral nuance

this wine is a lively violet colour with a seductive combination of black cherries

up there with the 1947 and 1949

Excellent depth of purplish crimson

There is not a hard edge to be found
