Tasting notes
A deep ruby red hue and a delicious nose of red and black berry fruit, together with attractive whiffs of spice. The combination of freshness and dense tannins on the palate give one an idea of its potential over the coming years.
Vinification
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
Flowering of merlot was somewhat handicapped by cool, humid weather in June, which
considerably reduced the yields from this variety. Otherwise 2010 fulfilled all the conditions for a great vintage, allowing to produce perfectly ripe grapes for every plot.
