Hand-picked grapes. Short maceration ('skin contact') followed by fermentation at approximately 28°C for around one week. Subsequent maturation for 15 to 18 months in stainless steel before bottling and subsequent release.

Deep ruby. An explosion of black berry with a delicate floral note on the nose. Fresh attack on a linear, elegant, mild palate, with supple layers and notable depth. Acidity and approachable tannins dovetail perfectly, ensuring great drinking pleasure.

Sourced from vines that enjoy a south-easterly aspect in the Garblèt vineyard at an altitude of 250 metres above sea level, where the soils are comprised of loam and limestone.
