2016 Cuveé d Élevage Matrix
2016 Matrix
Hints of plum blossoms, allspice and cedar gently introduce bolder tones of black fruits and leather on the nose. The palate enters with subtle aromas of forest floor, brambles and vanilla pod, followed by a vibrant burst of freshly picked mulberries, roasted coffee beans and cherry skin. The finish is refined and focused, leaving you with hints of potpourri, blueberry jam and dark chocolate.
