VINIFICATION & MATURING
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The proportions of de-stemming and whole grapes vary with each vintage. The grapes are punched down daily to extract their colour, tannins and aromas from the skins. After 19 days of vatting, the alcoholic fermentation is completed. The free-run wine is drained off by gravity, while a slow and gentle pressing of the marc produces a press wine of great purity. For 14 months, our wines are matured in French oak barrels (20 to 30% of which are new) in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature. The end of the maturing process is carried out in vats for 2 months.
TASTING
Our old vines faithfully reveal the particularities of this exceptional terroir. With a beautiful dark ruby colour, brilliant and limpid, this wine reveals notes of black berries and a powerful and concentrated mouth.
