Tasting notes
Wine of great depth and richness in both the aromas and the taste. A touch mineral aftertaste lingering, long, cool and very front. It shows a great structure with a very smooth and balsamic feel in the mouth.

A special wine for great events and high quality cuisine, especially for fish stew and oven-roasted fish. It is most enjoyable with pate and cheese. It should be served at a temperature of 13 °C to 14 °C.

Viticulture and Enology
The grapes are harvested at night, selected and separate from the stem after which they are softy and slowly crushed in a pneumatic press. The juice is filtered statically and left for a period of 48 hours at a low temperature to allow the sediment to settle.
There is then a 30 days fermentation period in new French oak barrels at a temperature of 15 °C, followed by an aging period of 8 months with weekly bâtonnage. At this point the wine is transferred into stainless steel vats and kept at constant temperature (6 °C) during one month,. Then it is ready for bottling and to stay in the cellar for at least 6 months before it is released.
