Product notes
Soils of rolled pebbles and rich in red clay.
Production notes
Manual harvest, at the beginning of September. Traditional vinification, control of fermentation temperatures then maceration for nearly three weeks. This wine is aged for 36 months in oak casks.
Tasting notes
Beautiful dark red color, deep. A nose of spices and ripe red berries. Notes of jam. Round tannins, complexity and power. Rich, full and creamy wine, with notes of ripe plums, pits and red fruits. Rich where everything is harmony and balance. Pairings of game birds, spicy dishes, red meats and cheeses.
