Cipes Ariel 1998
Premier Cuvee
In Stock
A blend of 59% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 1% Pinot Meunier. Very rich and complex with notes of custard, vegemite, brioche, orange and lemon zest, ripe apple, dried apricot, nut, and ginger. The extended bottle aging has created deep autolytic notes and creamy bubbles.
