  • Terroir
    A very mature, deep soil with brown topsoil

    Subsoil of large, fractured limestone blocks

    East-facing sun exposure
  • Vinification and maturation
    The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted and totally destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 20 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats. Pigeage (punching down the cap) was done twice a day during alcoholic fermentation.

    100% malolactic fermentation

    100% ageing in oak barrels

    Duration of barrel ageing: 17 months
  • Features
    Very beautiful dark intense red colour.

    Elegant and complex with hints of black fruit, spice, and liquorice.

    Both concentrated and refined, showing spice and fresh black fruit with rich, tightly-knit, and digestible tannin. Delicious, warm aftertaste.
