Refined notes of red fruits impart subtle tones that highlight – you could almost say “illuminate” the delicacy of L’Intemporelle. There is a lovely precision here, with spice and refined toasty character to the fore. The palate displays great elegance and harmony, with citrus adding verve to the wine’s plush texture and the hallmark minerality of L’Intemporelle showing through.
“This rare and distinctive cuvee was first released in 2004 – then as now characterised by a lovely balance that has never lost its appeal.”
