Harvest and Vinification

Grapes are harvested at the beginning of October at high maturity. The plots are cultivated according to the principles of Organic Agriculture.
The vinification is controlled to keep the aromatic brightness of the grapes (low temperature of fermentation) while privileging the extraction on the juiciness (long maceration of 4 weeks).
Free-run juice only.

Tasting notes

Dark red color with large purple reflections. Intense nose of fresh blackcurrant liqueur and licorice. Ample, round mouth, with present but silky tannins. A real "solar" wine.

Sommelier Advices

Serve at 16 °C. A wine for aging to be enjoyed with an oven-roasted duck or a risotto with ceps.
