2024 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 12.5%
pH 3.5

Drinking Window Enjoy within three years for fruit, otherwise after the fifth year; producer suggests cellaring for 15–20 years
Classification IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert – Cité d’Aniane
Region Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert
Soil Red glacial deposits
Vineyard Yield 33 hL/ha
Harvest Dates 3–20 September 2024 (7 picking days)
Vine Age 44
Oak Types Oak
Unfiltered Yes
Production Details The grapes were harvested entirely by hand. Vinification used slow extraction, delicate pump-overs and soft infusion, with long fermentation and maceration and no filtration. Maturation lasted 12–15 months in oak barrels aged 1–7 years. Total acidity is reported as 3.55 without a unit or acid-equivalent basis, so it is not mapped to total_acidity_gl; Folin is 52. The page recommends serving at 18–19°C, opening three to four hours ahead and replacing the cork, with decanting encouraged. The broader estate-harvest narrative gives 28 August–21 September, distinct from the wine-specific 3–20 September technical dates.
Tasting Notes Deep brilliant red; powerful bouquet of cherry and blackcurrant; red-fruit attack, elegant tannic structure, velvety texture and a long, nuanced finish

Production Details The grapes were harvested entirely by hand. Vinification used slow extraction, delicate pump-overs and soft infusion, with long fermentation and maceration and no filtration. Maturation lasted 12–15 months in oak barrels aged 1–7 years. Total acidity is reported as 3.35 without a unit or acid-equivalent basis, so it is not mapped to total_acidity_gl; Folin is 42. The year included repeated spring frosts down to -5°C and roughly 40 mm of rain in each of July and August. The page’s general harvest narrative contains an internally impossible 6 September to 4 September sequence, so it was not used for the wine’s harvest_dates claim.
