The 2012, shows the benefits of the Pascal’s improvements in the vineyard. It was the first vintage to include a significant portion of grapes from their replanted massal selection of vines using the parcelaire approach, which they initiated in 2008. Youthful still, but enjoyable to drink now, especially after time in the glass, it delivers an enchanting combination of dark cherry-like notes and savoury accented ones. With time, mineral-like qualities add complexity. Its gracefulness is apparent in the long and lifted finish. Everything has come together in this beautifully textured wine.
