2017 Justin Boxler Muscat Vendanges Tardives

Muscat is a grape variety that is very rarely harvested overripe.
This wine from 2017 represents Justin Boxler's first attempt at the Muscat grape variety in late harvest. Only 932 bottles were produced.
Light yellow colour, an initially shy nose which evokes floral aromas such as elderflower but which opens up and becomes more floral. First taste impression is sharp. The taste is concentrated and rich, giving a sense of fat while remaining fruity and greedy. The finish is elegant and floral

Vendanges Tardives can be translated as "Late harvest" which is then equal to overripe grapes. The vines are more than 20 years old. The yield in 2017 for this wine: 23 HL / ha
