Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is layered, dominated by floral aromas and
complemented by stone fruits, as well as by subtle herbal notes in the background.
Appearance
Bright pale salmon pink color.
Palate
On the
palate, the mouth is fruity as the stone fruit character carries through, and crisp thanks to
the vibrant acidity. Refined, balanced finish.
Vinification
Rigorous grape selection on conveyor belt and direct pressing. Fermentation in stainless
steel tanks at temperatures between 17–19 °C. The wine stays in contact with its fine lees
for 3 months with occasional mild stirring (bâtonnage).
Vintage Notes
The trademark of the vintage was the return to relative normality with weather conditions
close to the average standards for the region throughout most of the growing season. Winter
rains and snowfall allowed the vines to rest and replenished vital water reserves for the
months ahead, while May was slightly cooler within an otherwise typical spring. Excellent
vineyard preparation during the winter (such as the application of compost in the vineyard)
helped the vines withstand the warm June. The intensely hot and dry conditions of July were
moderated by night temperatures that dropped even to below 20°C, preserving balance in the
vines. The typical August and the warmer September with limited rainfall, contributed to the
outstanding quality of the grapes, marked by vibrant acidity, pronounced aromatics, and full
phenolic ripeness. The first days of October were cool and relatively humid, slightly delaying
the harvest of Xinomavro without any impact on quality. For L’ Esprit Du Lac, harvest began
on 7 October 2025. A very good vintage for Xinomavro.
Region Notes
A rigorous selection of Xinomavro vines of at least 40 years of age, grown on small parcels
scattered around Agios Panteleimonas, within the PDO zone of Amyndeon in Northern
Greece. Continental-ish climate at the cooler wine region of Greece, located in a stunning
plateau at 600 meters above sea level, with poor sandy soils, neighboring lakes and
mountainous surroundings. An ideal location for Xinomavro to ripe and display its unique
backbone.
