The Ornellaia 2017 masterfully interprets what was a particularly warm and sunny year

a Grand Cru Burgundy

9 months Elevage in seasoned (3 - 8yr old) French oak Hogsheads support deep-fruited

M. Chapoutier Alsace ‘Lieu-dit-Berg’ Single vineyard 2015 Size::1 Bottle The Ornellaia 2017 masterfully interpretsAppearance: gold with greenish highlights. Nose: The nose presents pretty empyreumatic, honeyed notes, sought after by older Riesling lovers. Palate: The palate is powerful and sunny. The smoothness brought by the empyreumatic notes gives a very nice length to the wine.
