Production Details After stainless-steel fermentation and skin maceration, malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. The wine matures for 18 months in French-oak barriques from Limousine and Allier, almost all new, followed by several months of bottle maturation before release. Grapes are entirely handpicked and handled using gravity flow, a sensitive destemmer and a rail-mounted “cuvon.” The vineyard lies at 330–400 m; the producer recommends serving at 15–18°C.
Tasting Notes Deep dark ruby red; wild berries, blackberries and plums; tobacco leaf, cloves and dark chocolate; strong fruity body, pronounced tannins, fresh acidity, juicy length and a powerful finish.
