Description
The word "Embazées" might come from "Ambassiacus", a gallo-roman estate still hosting the vestiges of a villa which was mentioned in some medieval texts.
Tasting
"The wine is bright with a light golden colour. Its aromas, reminiscent of hawthorn, acacia, honeysuckle, evolve toward hazelnut, and after a few years maturing, deliver some hints of honey and ripe pear. On the palate, this opulent wine offers long lasting flavours lingering a long time in the aftertaste".
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
Vintage
This vintage produced wines of various styles, some with a rather high acidity level, others offering roundness. The main factor has been the frost. The vines hit by this severe spring frost very often matured later, giving fairly nervous wines, whereas the plots spared by frost reached a more precocious maturity. Many beautiful wines in this multi-faceted vintage.
