    Additional Info

    In Greek mythology, "Aganippe" is the source of inspiration from which the goddesses of the seasons (Les Horées) feed from.

    The L22 release in 2024 included a 50/50 blend of the 2022 and 2023 vintages. The 2023 helped finish the lagging 2022 fermentation and the blend balanced out higher maturity levels in 2023.
