Tasting notes

Deep, dark red colour. Spices and mature red fruits on the nose. Round tannins with powerful complexity on the palate. A rich and harmonious wine with notes of mature plums, hazelnuts, red fruit and a long finish.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted on tables. They are then put into vats for 18 to 21 days with regular pumping overs and punching downs, tasting the must every day during fermentation to ensure the best extraction. At the end, the wine is racked into oak vats for the malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

In large oak casks and barrels for 12 months of ageing before blending. Bottling takes place 6 months later.

Food pairing

Red meat, game - birds and cheese.
