"From the 80 ares planted 35 years ago in this climate, emerges an intense ruby-red wine that delivers a tangy perfume of blackcurrant and blackberry against a background of elegant woodiness with hints of cinnamon. On the palate, it's full-bodied, soft and well-balanced, with a lovely touch of silky tannins and a long finish of fruit and licorice. Potential for aging. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

The reds benefit from a three-week vatting period twelve months (10% new barrels for village appellations, 20% for premier crus). In certain years, the quality of the grapes allows us to keep around 20% of the whole harvest, balance is always important; we want to promote aromatic complexity while preserving substance, the tannins must hold the wine together". the wine".
