About The Producer

Terroir & Vineyard Practices:

The old vines that produce this cuvée are located on clay-limestone soils.

Tasting Notes

This dark red has a nose of small red fruits and candied black fruits. The palate is remarkable for its roundness, suppleness and balance between sweetness, alcohol and tannins. This cuvée will match perfectly with Italian lasagna.

Vinification

Grapes, harvested by hand, are gravity fed into the concrete vats after a total destemming. The vinification is then traditionally done during 15 days. No added yeast and the wines are not fined. Aging of 3 months in vats and 12 months in Burgundy oak barrels of 3 or 4 years. Bottling without filtration.
