About this wine

The vineyards face east, southeast and west. Their soils are rich in calcareous clay, with approximately 4,200–4,400 vines planted per hectare. The vines are trained using the Gouyot system. Harvesting is carried out manually, with the grapes collected in wooden baskets.

Grapes

Vinification

After arrival at the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation lasts two weeks.

Ageing

The wine matures for at least 24 months, first in small barrels and subsequently in barriques. Following bottling, it receives a further eight months of ageing before release.

Tasting profile

Garnet red with orange reflections. The bouquet is characteristic, intense and ethereal, combining spice with light nuances of vanilla and dried flowers. The palate is full-bodied and dry, austere yet velvety, with harmonious balance and a long, persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

A fitting partner for meat, roasts, game and mature cheeses.
