“The Cuve J comes from Evesham Wood’s estate, Le Puits Sec vineyard, with about 85% of this wine sourced from own-rooted vines that date to 1986. The wines that Erin Nuccio is making are imbued with elegance throughout. There is a savoury character in this wine’s aromatics, evocative of rosehip oil, wild mint and white pepper that are joined by notes of tart Montmorency cherries. The palate flashes lots of earth tones, turned soils, damp pine needles and intensely spiced blood orange pulp. It’s delicious and a little bit brooding.”

Winemaker Notes:

“This years J is classically dense especially so at this very youthful point. Its layered with fresh and dried flowers scattered in an ancient cabinet. Ripe berries play against clean compost leaves and the tannins are remarkably fine-grained and persistant.”
