L'Héritière des Pierres is exceptionally elegant, with a pronounced minerality reminiscent of gunflint. The initial nose is marked by a spicy framework, evolving towards aromas of cherries, strawberries and rose petals, with hints of leather. High-quality tannins promise at least 15 years of ageing potential.
