Secrets of the Cuvée

After spending 7 years studying oenology in Burgundy (Beaune and Dijon), Dominique got bitten by the great cellaring wine bug. He has matured this cuvée following pure Burgundian tradition (or 1950s Beaujolais, when a Juliénas rubbed shoulders with a Burgundy Cru pricewise).
This cuvée boasts a deep garnet robe and discrete roasted bean, vanilla and peony aromas. It is remarkably rich on the palate, with powerful tannins, creamy length and is very lightly oaked. A thoroughbred wine with personality.
