which then gradually opens up.
On the palate: A frank and lively attack of flavour, built by the Pinots, harmony, suppleness then freshness of roses and apricot with a nice finish.

We have associated 30% of our own red wine from the 2018 harvest with the Pinots of 2016 to achieve the desired salmon colour and full-bodied intensity of red fruit aromas.
