Mainly destemmed and crushed with some whole bunches, and wild-fermented with extended skin contact, matured in French oak (45% new) for two years. It is a constantly moving kaleidoscope of aromas and flavours, hard to pin down thanks to its deceptive complexity. Vignerons of the northern Rhone Valley receiving many hundreds of dollars a bottle for their wines might not like to be confronted by this wine. Drink to 2040.
