Nose

The nose is complex with notes of fresh fruit, pear, pineapple, grapefruit and white flowers coated with candied notes of a beautiful noble rot.

Palate

The mouth is powerful and fresh. It confers the first impression of aromas in the nose. The palate is lively with a great balance. In the finish, slightly saline and mineral notes give Sigalas a signature vivacity.

Growing Conditions

Spring 2017 was particularly warm. However, the freezing cold night of 27th and 28th April last was very stressful. Hopefully, the familial expression « Sigalas never freezes » worked this year again: the vineyard was completely safe the next morning. The summer was great with some rainy days that allowed the apparition of the noble rot on the grapes.

Harvest

The first picking started at the end of September followed quickly by 2 others. On October 13th, the harvest was finished in three trials. Sigalas had not known that for a long time

Aging

18 months in French oak barrels.
