Production Details For this 2022 magnum listing, the page reports a 1-ha parcel at 11,000 vines/ha on a 30% gradient. Grapes were manually harvested in bins or cases and sorted; 30% were destemmed and 70% retained as whole clusters. Fermentation and maceration lasted approximately 20 days, with punching down and pumping over twice daily and little chaptalization. The wine entered Vosges and Allier barrels, 20% new with the balance one- or two-year-old; it was racked in October using compressed air without pumping and bottled by gravity after 23 months. Reported production was 400 twelve-bottle cases.
Tasting Notes Deep black-cherry colour; ripe-grape, blackcurrant-jelly and wild-blackberry aromas with noble oak; pure, smooth palate with dense tannins, concentrated fruit and a long, balanced finish
