Climatic conditions
The grapes slowly ripened over the season. The vineyard was managed with great care, allowing
us to start the harvest on 1st October. The sanitary state of the vineyard was perfect with
perfectly ripe grapes from every plot. We produced a wine that is enticing with a great
ageing capacity.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby colour. Very expressive on the nose, shows lovely notes of blueberries, blackcurrant, violet, followed by mineral hints and grilled bread. On the palate, the wine is powerful, elegant, perfectly balanced, medium bodied with velvet tannins and a long length.
Winemaking
Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and
carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled
stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% to 40% of which are new.
