The work begins in the vineyard with a selection of the plots more suitable for producing this type of wine. The grapes are harvested in large manually. A double sorting system is carried out in the vineyard and in the cellar. The winemaking is traditional and the grapes are therefore destemmed before the maceration phase begins, which lasts between 3 and 4 weeks. Pressing is carried out, then leaving room to malolactic fermentation. Two thirds of the wines are aged 9 months in barrels, the rest being kept in vats to be blended in the spring. After a light fining, the wines are bottled and kept for several months before being marketed.

The color is intense garnet with purple highlights. This wine opens with a beautiful cherry fruitiness with notes of liquorice and fine wood. On the palate, gray pepper and nutmeg accompany a firm but tannic structure without hardness which brings a lot of breadth. A generous and ample palate at the end persistent.

Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature
