As soon as the grapes are harvested, the maceration in vat starts. This assists the extraction of colour as well as the release of aromas. The alcoholic fermentation lasts about 10 days. The wine is then separated from sediment such as pips and skins.

Each parcel is vinified separately. It is only after 3 to 4 months that the tasting of each vat allows us to decide on the mix of the 'assemblage'.

Alain's notes

Tasting notes:

  • colour: intense cherry
  • slightly smoky aroma; prunes and red fruits
  • supple and gentle 'attack', developing in firmness and freshness; blackcurrant taste; structured wine, light and fresh with a rich and 'oily' final note

Drinking advice

Open 2 hours before tasting to allow for discreet aromas to develop. Maintain the temperature of the wine at 16-17 deg. C (just below room temperature) for optimal tasting.
