Tasting notes
Dark ruby with touches of red velvet on the rim. Complex and elegant to the nose with dark fruits like black cherries and blueberries and hints of white truffles evolving on black olive and dark chocolate. Dense and silky entrance evolving on a beautifully fresh and layered mid palate with touches of cassis, plum, sundried tomatoes, eucalyptus and tobacco lingering on velvety tannins.
Vinification
Each lot fermented separately. Fermentation in stainless steel and barrel. Natural fermentations, 100% gravity. Punch downs by hand. Aged 24 months in French oak barrels with 80% new oak. No fining, no filtering.
Vintage
The growing season was quite a perfect season. Good rain during winter followed by good conditions for the flowering
and the berry setting before the weather got warmer and helped the end of the vegetative growing and the beginning of the
maturation of the fruit. Due to these circumstances, the berries were quite small and fully concentrated with flavors and aromas.
We harvested the Merlot at the end of August to keep its aromatic characteristics alive but we made the other three Bordeaux
varieties from September 10 to 25 with an optimal phenolic maturity.
