The style is set based on a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and extended time on lees over 52 months or so. Year in, year out, Grand Vintage is the apex of the Jeté style. The 2020 is beautifully executed and generous in complex flavours. Boasts a fine bead and scents of fine citrus and white flowers with quince and almond biscotti. Creamy and smooth to taste, the palate opens up rich and honeyed in expression in shortbread, honeyed biscuits, baked apple, peach and pear with lifted spice and gingerbread notes. Impressive poise and length.
