Harvest and vinification

Vines over 50 years old. Picked up slightly overripe. After a long maceration (22-24 days) in temperature-controlled vats, the free-run and press juices are separated before a rough filtration in spring. Aging in a slightly reduced environment allows freshness to be preserved by favoring a slow evolution.
Tasting

Dress : Ruby red, intense, with "cherry brandy" reflections.

Nose : Intense, powerful and rich, a gourmet side and a toasty note characterize this cuvée.

Mouth : After a supple, easy attack, the arrival of generous tannins suggests a 10-year development potential. The finish is long and smooth. Wine of guard par excellence.
