INFOS
Presentation
This wine is the jewel of the estate: a premium vintage made from grapes selected from our best plots and terroirs, to keep only the best berries. Separate vinification in small stainless-steel vats and barrel ageing combined with ageing in amphora and jars.
This wine is delicate, elegant, complex... Perfect for cellaring for ten years or more, but also a quicker approach for the more impatient!
A rare wine produced in small quantities.
The vintage
For this 2014 vintage, the summer was unfortunately not very sunny, with rain and some precipitation. At the end of August, the Indian summer arrived and lasted until October, which proved to be a lifesaver for the vintage. 2014 is a miracle!
