An effortless 2024 from Phélan and one of the highlights of the year. Roses, violets, peonies, red cherries and strawberries. Smells amazingly perfumed. Supple and juicy, really lifted and alive. Has an airy quality to it - tannins are fine and beautifully delineated with freshness but all in balance. Gentle and calm with classic elements of cool mint and liquorice as well as really pure fruit. Not trying too hard. Really well refined. I love it! Full of purity and precision, not big or weighty but you'll be able to drink this so easily. Ageing 55% new oak. 10% press. 60% production. 3.72pH. Tasted four times. A yield of 30hl/ha. 15 different native yeasts were used for fermentation. Drinking window: 2029-2044.
