The Perpetuum represents a fascinating return to origins for Frank Cornelissen, a traditional interpretation of his renowned Munjebel. With an approach that recalls historical winemaking practices, this cuvée combines different vintages to give life to a wine that expresses the complexity and richness of the territory. The choice to assemble the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 vintages is an act of delicacy and respect towards the winemaking heritage, particularly for those who have appreciated the more classic versions of Munjebel. The spontaneous fermentation and long maceration on the skins demonstrate Cornelissen's commitment to enhancing the varietal and territorial characteristics of the grapes, creating a wine that truly speaks of its production environment. The refinement process of at least 18 months and the subsequent rest in the bottle allow the aromas and flavors to integrate perfectly, offering a rich and complex tasting experience. The philosophy of the perpetual method, which involves adding new vintages to the tank, is an innovative way of creating a living and constantly evolving wine, testimony to the art and passion of Frank Cornelissen. For anyone wishing to explore a wine that combines tradition and innovation, Perpetuum is certainly an option to consider, promising to delight palates with its richness and depth, evoking memories of a bygone era.
