At its best it combines a fragrant, wild-strawberry and red-flower perfume with genuine peppery spice and a fine, silky texture, which is very much the register Les Quatre Piliers works in. Low yields are central to the purity here, as is a restrained approach in the cellar: a little hand plunging during fermentation and only a small sulphur addition at bottling. Ageing takes place in Valentin Desloges' bespoke oak barrels, whose staves he selects and dries in-house before they are coopered in Burgundy. The wine spends 12 months on lees and is bottled without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproachable now and good for a few years yet; serve lightly chilled at 14 to 16°C with charcuterie, roast pork or a peppered steak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
