Production Details A non-vintage oxidative blend assembled from multiple vintages/demijohn lots. The goblet-trained vines are over 40 years old, planted at 3,500–4,000 vines/ha, and the soils are regularly tilled. Grapes are harvested by hand, double sorted and destemmed. Alcohol is added during fermentation while the wine remains on its skins (mutage sur grains), followed by 30 days of maceration. Maturation comprises one year outdoors under the sun in glass demijohns, followed by at least 40 years in old 350-hL oak casks.
Tasting Notes Mahogany colour; walnut, fig, date and dark-tobacco aromas; a long, persistent finish marked by bitter orange peel and rustic freshness.
Food Pairing Pata Negra; blue cheeses such as Roquefort; or served alone
