Focused, powerful and lifted aromas of citrus blossoms, jasmine tea, pome fruits, lime, grapefruit, nectarine, cashew, hazelnut, toasted oats, nougat, white pepper, ginger, sweet dusty spices and a touch of brine.
In the mouth it’s powerful, intense and has an immediate punch of flavour, acidity and tannin. Concentrated pome, apple warheads, peppery citrus, slightly bitter stonefruit, hints of musk candy and ginger ignite the palate, charged by intense mineral-edged acidity and gripped with firm drying tannins. It holds, rather than drives, and coils with tension and tightness into a fist in the midpalate, reverberating in flavour and acidity. If the Tiers is elegant and quietly spoken, this is boisterous and loud. It ends with a tang of sour apple and a hum of cinnamon toast. A Chardy for those that like it kicking.
