L'Ecole No 41 - Ferguson Vineyard 2021 (750ml) Chile Chile MerlotWinemaker Notes With a flavor profile distinctly influenced by its volcanic basalt soil, Ferguson is a richly structured and energetic wine offering complex, mineral laced aromas of cassis, blackberries, fragrant violet, tobacco, and sandalwood. Layers of dark fruit and espresso are framed by expressive tannins integrated with crushed rocks and graphite on the palate. Intense, racy, and structured, Fergusons pronounced natural acidity carries through

The domaine is comprised of 20 acres of Grand Cru vineyards in the middle slopes of the villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy
full of complexity and character
giving notes of grapefruit sherbet
initiating the malolactic fermentation
this Pinotage showcases notes of mocha
gently layering but adding up to quite the wall at this stage
The nose is expressive with citrus and floral notes
