Grand Siècle itération N°24 Edition Limitée Robe Soleil

Grand Siècle Iteration N°24 appears here in the limited Robe Soleil edition. What is inside follows the principle of the house: combine the best with the best. Chardonnay makes up the majority at 55 per cent, complemented by Pinot Noir, with grapes from 11 of the 17 grands crus. The vintages 2007, 2006 and 2004 form the base, and the cuvée rests in the cellar for at least ten years. The curved bottle with its slender neck recalls the glassmaking craft of the 17th century.

According to the house, the wine shows notes of delicately honeyed peaches, smoked wood, iodine and musk. On the palate it is concentrated and complex, with ripe red fruit, a fine mousse and a hint of chalk. The finish is tempting. Freshness, intensity and minerality define the style. Serve it at 12 °C in a large white wine glass. With lobster, turbot or sweetbreads it shows its depth, and as a limited edition it also makes a special gift.
