Taste: The creation of the 2013 vintage reveals the resonance between the pinots noirs and chardonnays, between acidity and fullbodied. The precise, elegant and tactile bouquet blooms in an extremely delicate powdery aromatic braid around three nuances: first citrus, then a more vegetal facet and lastly, spices. This precision reveals a simple and evident elegance where the wine, after an ethereal attack, amplifies and blossoms before ceding to an ineffable sensation of clarity.

All in all, after a challenging start, 2012 is a vintage to be reckoned with and having tasted it now, we can confirm that this Dom is doing fine in the bottle after ten years. The growing season started with frost in the winter and spring, followed by heavy rains, frightening hailstorms and cold spells throughout the flowering. After that, an intensely warm summer seemed extreme, but the saviour was a warm, dry fall with a September 10 to 26 harvest.
