- Upon first tasting, there is an evident delicate gingerbread note that makes an expressive initial impression. As it aerates in 2014, it reveals a dynamic and intricate palate with a beautiful interplay of freshness and tension. The wine exhibits lively notes of citrus fruit, lime, and gooseberry, culminating in a lingering finish with a distinct mineral and saline quality.
In order to give the wine even greater richness and complexity, the Millesime 2016 is aged for at least seven years in Collet's centennial cellars, dug deep into the chalk.
