Tasting :
Dark red color with very deep reflections. The nose of very ripe red and black fruits with a nice minerality. Juicy attack and tannins are well present. The wine is well balanced.

Manufacturing :
Planted on clay-limestone soils, the grapes are picked up by machine after tasting the berries from each plot for optimum maturity. They are scuffed and passed on a sorting table. The grapes are then put in stainless steel vats where they are macerated cold for a week before going into fermentation. The extraction of color and structure is done by alternating winding pump and cane nitrogen and load shedding. The alcoholic fermentation lasts about 8 to 10 days, followed by the maceration phase.

The daily tastings allow us to decide the date of discharge of the vats. We then separate the dropped juice from the pressed juice for the malolactic fermentation. Wine racking is done by gravity, in order to limit the mechanical actions performed on the wine. The assembly of the different tanks is carried out one month before bottling. Filtration is done on the ground after bonding if necessary.
