Character & origin

The wine in detail

Ask us

L’Escalier Bleu 2022 is an anniversary blend from Takahata, made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Takahata, Yamagata. It matures for 24 months in barrel, with 36% new oak. Takafumi Hara's label draws on his “Stairs” series.

Blueberry and plum meet chocolate, coffee and vanilla. The palate offers a medium body, a supple texture and rounded tannins, with a long finish.

The winery

Takahata

In southeastern Yamagata, Takahata works closely with the grape growers of its surrounding area. Since 1990, that relationship has produced a varied range of wines. Individual growing areas, the growers themselves and small-batch winemaking give the wines an origin that can be traced through to the bottle.
