Cold maceration prior to fermentation according to grape quality. A slow start to alcoholic fermentation with pumping over three to four times a day followed by delestage. Three weeks’ gentle maceration at a temperature of 22°C. Aged in cement vats.

Deep, almost black in colour. The subtle and pleasant nose of summer berries pierces through unmistakeable, softly wooded notes of vanilla and cocoa. The wood also subtly marks the attack, giving way rapidly to a full-bodied roundness underpinned by a high-quality tannic structure. A wine with great potential.

Meats in sauce.

Cold maceration prior to fermentation according to grape quality. A slow start to alcoholic fermentation with pumping over 2 or 3 times a day followed by delestage. Three weeks’ gentle maceration at a temperature of 22°C. Aged in 225 litre French oak barrels (one third new barrels) without racking, in an anaerobic environment to preserve a maximum of fruit.

The colour is concentrated with pretty garnet tints. The powerful nose expresses the heating process used in making the aging barrels. An elegant blend of spices and pungent, buttered notes. This aromatic richness is confirmed on the palate, Which is full-bodied and delicate. The finish leads into notes of jam and wood. This is a wine which takes on the quintessential characteristics of the wood it is aged in.
