Tasting notes
Powerful wine, intense fruit. The wine shows a deep ruby colour. Fruits on the nose, with notes of blackcurrant and red fruits. The palate displays elegance and fruits with velvety tannins. Long length with a supple finish. Superb potential!
Winemaking
Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% to 40% of which are new.
Climatic conditions
A very dry vintage, with moderate heat, produced very harmonious wines, despite a strong alcohol level. The sanitary state in the vineyard was perfect until the harvest, allowing us to wait until perfect ripening of the berries.
