This wine is characterized by aromas of ripe fruit and blackcurrant liqueur, with floral notes of peony and old rose. Racy, balanced and fleshy, it gives even more after 7 years of cellaring, enriching itself with delicious truffle aromas.

Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes arrive at a mechanical sorting table, where all green waste (leaves, stalks, snails, etc.) is removed. Once cleaned, the harvest is gravity-fed to thermo-regulated cement tanks.
Once in the vat, we rack a few juices (saignée) to improve quality and concentrate fruit, aromas, tannins and color.
Each vinification is adapted to the specificity of the vintage, with the sole aim of getting the best out of the fruit.
Harvest
Mechanics from 09/15 to 10/04
