The grapes are hand-picked and 100% destemmed after sorting. Pre-fermentation maceration (12°C) for 5 days. Fermentation in temperature controlled vat with pumping-over and punching of the cap at the beginning. Warm post-fermentation maceration before the wine is put in barrels.

Ageing Free-run wine and press wine are aged separately. 18 months in oak, 50% new. Malolactic fermentation. Bottling after a soft filtration, depending on the vintage, and sulfites reduced to the minimum.

Aromas The first nose presents great aromatic potential of fresh fruits and then explodes in multiple layers of aromas (cherry, violet, menthol,...).
Taste The attack shows a nice and smooth sucrosity, with smoothand elegant tannins. The mid-palate then develops a beautiful minerality and acidity, ending in a finish which leaves the palate lined up with a sensation of silk.
