The 2016 ‘Cuvée de mon Aïeul’ is an utterly fascinating showing in this vintage. It begins with wonderful, remarkable complex aromas of raspberries and kirsch cherries which are woven together with spices, fresh cut florals, licorice, garrigue, meat with hints of dark chocolate shavings and wet stones all slowly develop in the glass. On the palate this is even more impressive with its gorgeous balance, finesse and beautiful fresh personality. Demonstrating wonderful elegance, class and sophistication, this is already quite striking in its youth, however it also possesses incredible potential to age for many years to come.
