There’s a legend about this Cuvée created by Jean Thomas in 1997. The magic is that Ultimus is the last vineyard to be harvested from the oldest grapes, the Ultimate harvest. Rich and powerful with ripe pear, quince, citrus, and a minerality reminiscent of toasted almond. The round, rich character is kept perfectly in check by a nervy acidity throughout the finish. Great with light white meats like chicken breast or pork tenderloin, also most seafoods with richer presentations, or traditional with blanquette de veau. Classic pairing with goat cheese, aged and funky.
