About

The first release labeled PR (Perpetual Reserve) 90-19 which is very limited and contains 50% of reserve wines in a solera system which dated back to 1990. With only 8,000 bottles to be released to the market, this comes highly recommended. The art on the bottle is his first metaphysical hint that time is factored into every element of this wine. It’s meant to convey the span of vintages and spatial distances captured in this single cuvée. Oak barrels made from 90+-year-old trees, base wine from two different multi-vintage soleras that tell vintage stories dating back to the 1950s, time to barrel ferment and mature the Grand Cru base wines at the start, and the time to elaborate the finished wine. Grape Varieties 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. Tasting Notes Golden yellow color. The palate it is rich, creamy and full of character, with balanced acidity and a long and expressive finish. Rating JS 97 points from JS Wine Rating “The center palate to this is impressive with light salted caramel, toffee, dried apple and peach skin. It opens to reveal aromas and flavors of sea salt, oyster shell and chalk. Medium to full body. Some creme brulee. Creamy texture. Extremely long and complex at the end. 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. Blend of two solera systems of perpetual reserve, started in 1990.” - Tasted on Aug 7, 2023 by James Suckling Region/Country: France
