Brilliant straw colour with copper highlights. Fine, persistent froth forming a noticeable ring. The nose is dominated by woodland flowers, apples, pears & above all, candied fruit. Rich & varied aromas, full of delicacy & subtlety. As wine opens up, pronounced hazelnut notes are evident. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, delicately sweet & well rounded, in full harmony with the complex aromas. Definite fresh fruit notes. The wine develops on a very silky structure. A fresh & assertive finish, boding well for this exquisite wine. Blend: 43 % Pinot Noir, 42 % Pinot Meunier, 15 % Chardonnay. Cuvee des Moines does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
