THIS CUVÉE COMES FROM THE SECOND HARVEST OF 2020. AFTER THE AUGUST PICKING, THE MILD WEATHER ALLOWED THE GRAPES TO CONTINUE RIPENING UNTIL SEPTEMBER, REVEALING A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT PROFILE. PAULINE THEN CHOSE TO VINIFY THESE 2 HARVESTS SEPARATELY. THUS WAS BORN COTEAUX SEPTEMBER, FROM THE SAME TERROIR YET WITH A TRULY UNIQUE EXPRESSION. HERE, WE DISCOVER A MORE PRONOUNCED MATURITY, WITH WARM, SMOKY NOTES AND A DEPTH ENHANCED BY THE OAK.

A WINE OF CHARACTER – AMPLE.
