Production Details The producer's 6.9-hectare holding comprises 75 terraces at 120–263 metres. Grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and vinified separately by lieu-dit in stainless steel for approximately three weeks, using gentle early extraction with calibrated pump-overs and punch-downs. After racking, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and around 18 months' maturation in barrels, with new oak limited to 25%. Final blending in stainless steel occurred 10 months before bottling.
Tasting Notes Garnet-red, almost black, with violet hues; black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant followed by dominant graphite; rounded, rich mid-palate enveloping the tannins and an exceptionally long finish
Food Pairing Roast pigeon, venison with grand veneur sauce, truffle-based dishes and noble mushrooms
