About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Most of the vines were planted between 1967 and 1972. All vineyard work is carried out by hand.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is bottled without filtration; natural sediment may therefore form in the bottle.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24 months in 225 L French oak barrels, followed by further ageing in bottle.

Tasting profile

Powerful, bold and concentrated, with a complex, captivating aroma, fine structure and excellent balance.

Serving and pairing

Decant before serving.
