Deep gold color, hints of dried fruit & honey offset rich nutty aromas. Lush silky richness with an elegant slightly austere quality which is quite distinctive. Subtle dried fruit flavors underly, layers of caramel & nuts culminating in an endless finish.

This is a beautiful Champagne, balancing minerality with citrus and white fruits. It has a freshness to it as well as a fine structure so the bottling could still age. Drink from 2023.
The nose reveals a beautiful intensity on lemon, citrus and flower notes. The mouth is bright and juicy with a slightly saline mineral finish. What a delight.
The Durand® is exceptionally effective in removing compromised & fragile corks, whole & intact, from older, valued wines. The Durand® has been repeatedly tested on the most challenging corks. It has performed consistently and flawlessly.

Flamboyant & flavorful with ripe strawberry, iodine, bark & thyme character. Medium- to full-bodied with medium round tannins that nicely texture the wine. It tightens up at the end to give it tension. Drinkable now, try after 2027.

Winemaker's Notes : The 2022 will impress with its power and creaminess, offering superb aromas of black and red fruit. The structure is dense and velvety. This Fiefs 2022 is surprisingly accessible yet built to last over several decades.
Maple, dark chocolate, baked cherry, and toasted oak create a captivating, complex aroma. The palate presents rye spice with luscious oak undertones that lead to a luxurious, long-lasting finish.
Full, structured, masculine wine, nose of very fine ripe fruits, long in the mouth, ample, long-keeping. A wine that leads both minerality and power by relying on a beautiful tension.
