poultry in sauce or aged cheeses.
Winemaking and ageing
The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted, then vatted separately. The Syrah and the Carignan are vatted as whole bunches and vinified by whole-bunch maceration, with a vatting period of approximately 15 days. The other grape varieties are 100% destemmed and then vinified by traditional maceration for approximately 3 weeks. The wines are placed in new 225L barrels for a minimum of 1 year of ageing. A selection of coopers is made in order to adapt the choice of wood origins as well as the type of toast to each vintage. The grape varieties are vinified and aged separately until the final blend, which takes place just before bottling.
Tasting note
Intense ruby colour with a mahogany hue. The bouquet
is concentrated, with very ripe black fruits, toasted spices and
grilled oak. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins.
Aromas of black fruits — blackberries, black cherries and
plums — reappear with a complex empyreumatic character
leading to mint. The finish is long with a
perfect balance.
Storage
Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature
