A prestigious, non-vintage blend crafted around the 2015 harvest. This edition represents the 171st re-creation of the House's "most generous" expression, a project that requires over 20 years of craftsmanship for each bottle.

Nose: Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe and dried citrus fruits, marzipan, and gingerbread.

Palate: Rich and broad with flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, and jellied fruits. Notable notes of quince, lemon, and almond paste are shaped by a fine, vivacious mousse.

Finish: A long, expressive finish often described as having a "fleur de sel" (salty) note and chiseled acidity.
