Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Regular pigeages and control of fermentation temperatures in closed stainless steel vats for nearly three weeks. Aging for 36 months in oak barrels, 50% new.

Tasting notes

Very deep, ruby ​​red color with purplish reflections. Nose of spices, small red fruits and delicate aromas of wood. On the palate, it is a tannic and massive wine. Aromas of blackcurrant and vanilla buds. The finish is liquorice and spicy. It is the example of a racy wine that knows how to remain seductive. Very good pairing with lamb, generally with red meats and cheese. Serve at 16˚C.
