  • After a selection of the best bunches by hand on a sorting table, the grapes are crushed and destemmed and fall by gravity in our concrete tanks.
  • Long maceration with gentle extractions allow to obtain velvetine yet powerful tannins, which are specific to our wines.
  • 10 % of the wine is then aged in oak barrels and demi-muids for 15 month, 90% in concrete vats.

Tasting note:

• • Nose, garrigue bouquet, cistus flower, blackcurrant buds, all fresh and balanced on the palate, with aromas of cocoa and cherry, with a long finish of liquorice.

Food and Wine pairing:
