Note di degustazione
(this selection of the best grapes also included fruit picked at the beginning, middle and end of the harvest; the alcoholic fermentation lasted until February of 2015): Bright yellow. Ripe peach, lemon and nutty, spicy oak on the nose; a bit more exotic and less floral than the Chavigne. Fat, very ripe and dry, with a deep leesy quality contributing to the wine's concentration and tactile character. Thick with extract and lightly saline in the middle palate and on the long, resounding back end. Still youthfully bound-up but there's nothing hard or dry about this very rich wine.

(this fruit from clay-and-limestone soil was picked between mid-September and mid-October in a series of passes): Bright, pale yellow. Aromas of lemon and crushed stone, plus a hint of ginger spice from the 25% new oak component (the rest of the barrels were one or two years old). Juicy, brisk and light on its feet, owing to strong minerality and good spicy lift. Even more energetic than the regular Chavigne cuvée . The long, salty, rising finish stimulates the salivary glands.
