TERROIR
Clay and limestone with gravel and sediments, mid-slope, facing East in the middle of the "appellation".
 
WINEMAKING & MATURATION
Hand-harvested, ripe grapes have been sorted out before an 18-day fermentation. The wine was then matured in oak casks (50% new barrels) for 16 months.
 
WINE DESCRIPTION
Dark purple colour. Very intense on the nose with black fruit aromas, spicy and toasted nuances. Well-structured on the palate with very fine tannins, a concentrated aromatic power and a unique length, that end on an elegance note.
 
WINE & FOOD
To be paired with venison or a matured Epoisses cheese.
 
AGEING POTENTIAL
At its best after 10 years, and more than 30 years for the great vintages.
