Tasting notes
The 2020 is the smallest crop we harvested in 30 years. The extraordinary freshness in this wine, produced in
the hottest vintage in modern history, is real proof of the buffer effect of our terroir. The precision of the
fruit transpires, with lovely notes of black cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice. The tense tannic structure is
reminiscent of the great 2010, with a more creamy, smoother midpalate. A focused, finely tuned, expressive wine
showing great purity.
Vinification
Plot by plot and intra plot vinification.
102 thermoregulated stainless steel vats for 103 vine plots.
Variable capacity of the vats : 36 to 220 hl.
Selection of batch conducted according to the varietal, age of vines,
terroir and grapes maturity.
Traditional vinification at 26-28C during 18 to 25 days.
Moderate pumping over
every day, or pigeage or delestage.
Malolactic fermentation through co inoculation.
