A slightly heavier Pinot noir influence drives this wine, from the mesmerising, medium-full pink colour onward. The vibrant mousse carries astonishing breadth of flavour, with classic Pinot noir notes (cherry, fresh herbs, rhubarb, subtle smoke) beneath a glorious, more traditional floral bouquet, bundled with lively summer fruit and a rich, long-lingering finish. Will age very well (look at it in 2023 and you’ll be well rewarded).
