INFOS
Presentation
This wine with its lilting name is unanimously acclaimed. The nose reveals subtle toasty notes, but above all aromas of red berries such as blackberry and wild strawberry. On the palate, freshness and fruit give way to perfectly controlled power.
The vintage
The 2022 vintage is an exceptional one, perhaps the vintage of the century. Our vines have shown incredible resilience in the face of record drought and high temperatures, producing dense, concentrated, fresh and fruity red wines. This surprising vintage could well surpass previous ones and leave an indelible mark on the history of our vineyards.
