Viticulture

The plot is located in the upper part of the Climat, on a gentle slope where the soil contains a rather high proportion of marls. The grapes here ripen later in comparison to the estate's other plots. It is therefore among the last to be harvested.

Winemaking

Winemaking is minimal intervention, utilising a gravity fed winery for the careful vinification followed by cask maturation for 12 to 18 Months.

Tasting Note

This wine showcases the remarkable synergy between a noble grape variety and a truly exceptional terroir. The nose is elegant and expressive, offering layers of red and black fruits intertwined with delicate notes of green tea, tobacco, and dried fruits such as prune and date. With time, these aromas will evolve into deeper, more complex nuances—spice, forest floor, and hints of leather. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied, and powerful, yet refined, with a long, velvety finish that lingers beautifully.

Food Matching

Finely prepared roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, pork, game, duck), or with medium to mature cheeses.
