Description

Each year, a limited amount of our No.1 Cuvée is set aside for long-term ageing on lees and released after several years – giving it the title “Reserve”.

Bouquet: An alluring and seductive bouquet with its distinct signature butter brioche autolysis, baked peach and apple with the hint of a spring orchard.

Palate: The palate is seamless with focused fruit-yeast balance providing elegance and style. The extended lees ageing provides richness with complex biscuity notes. Well-balanced, delicate and fresh with a lengthy finish.
