This flagship cuvée is made from century-old vines, on land shaped entirely by the hand of man. This southern red wine delivers beautiful notes of red and black fruits, sublimated by roasted notes. The palate is dense, with a generous body and powerful tannins refined by time. A touch of minerality adds balance, letting the spicy notes resonate on the long finish. Signature terroir!

Vintage 2013 drunk at the end of 2019. Superb red fruit aromas and velvety, surprisingly pleasant finish.
