Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Destemming followed by controlled maceration (skin contact) and subsequent fermentation for around four weeks – one part in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the other in large oak casks. Maturation for about 18 months in large oak casks and 228-litre Burgundian oak barrels, before bottling and subsequent release.

Intense on the nose with cherry and spice. Extremely elegant mouthfeel. Fresh, linear and fruit-driven with delicate tannins.

Le Mourre des Perdrix is a lieu-dit situated on a small plateau in the municipality of Courthézon. Its soils are a mixture of reddish loam, sandy marl and gravel.
