Inviting bouquet, revealing floral and fruity notes followed by hints of cocoa beans. Compact, elegant tannins on the palate. A wine of character that you can begin to appreciate.
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
The spring was wet and mild, and the summer was hot and dry until October, enabling us to harvest grapes of perfect ripeness, making this an exceptional vintage.
