Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: On the nose, our classic Le Rêve captivates with lovely notes of ginger, poached pear, toasted almonds, and pie crust. The palate opens up with white peach, apple blossom, brioche, and notes of a fresh baked lemon meringue pie.

Palate: This wine displays depth and purity that leads to a long, elegant finish.

As with many great wines, our 2016 Le Rêve has been crafted to be long-lived and will continue to evolve for decades in the cellar. Delicious now, but there will be additional flavor benefits for those who can wait.
