"The wine currently in stock (as of late April 2016) is 'cuvee 157,' and its base vintage is 2012 (70%); the reserve wines are 6.5% '11, 12% of '10, and 12.5% '09 -- all kept not in tank but in MAGNUMS on the lees, to give both greater freshness and more autolysis. This entails more cost and more labor, but the wine is better. Disgorged Dec. 3 2015. Later in the year we'll see a Feb 3 2016 disgorgement with 2013 as its base -- 70%, along with 6% '12, 9% '11, 10% '10 and 5% '09. The wine showed cool and mineral, already expressive and long with a lot of fruit and class. Still very dry, it has half a gram more RS than it's had recently, which may account for its greater elegance and fruit-driven length.
