Product Description:
Deep garnet-red with a ruby core. Impressive aromas of cedar, crushed mulberries, earth-dug tomatoes, sweetened by the opulence of cassis and refreshing hints of bouquet garni with lavender blossoms. Classic and refined, the nose unfolds with new leather, freshly printed newspapers, and cinnamon-dusted plums. The 2017 vintage has produced concentrated fruit, which is reflected on the palate in the form of dark curves and velvety tannins. Juicy cassis and black cherry unite along a plummy acid line. The tannins are perfectly rounded by time in the bottle, drawing the opulent fruit into a beautifully dry finish that lingers with resonance.

Vinifikation The grapes were hand-harvested in the cool season during the early mornings. On the sorting table, all excess stalks and inferior berries were carefully removed. The grapes were gently destemmed and lightly crushed using a Bucher destemmer. Fermentation occurred in 7-ton open-top stainless steel tanks with the addition of WE 372 yeast to the juice. The wines were manually pumped over and punched down 5 times daily to ensure maximum color extraction from the skins. After the main fermentation, the maceration period was 10-16 days before pressing. Each varietal is aged separately in oak barrels (micro-vinified) before being assembled and finally bottled. Aged for 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels.
