Special characteristic

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Whole-cluster cold maceration (no destemming) followed by fermentation in ancient Gallo-Roman vats. Gentle pressing then maturation for 12 months – 15% in first-use and 50% in used oak barrels (second- to fifth-use) as well as 35% in concrete tanks. No filtering.

Deep ruby. Strawberry, violet, lavender, licorice and pepper on the nose. Complex flavours combined with a very harmonious and fresh mouthfeel.

Sourced from vines sitting 240 to 400 metres above sea level. A particularly cool microclimate as well as soils consisting of calcareous marl and sand provide excellent conditions for growing wine.
