A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine.

  • Tasting Notes

    One of the most beautiful successes of the domain! After 30 minutes of decanting, the olfactory unfolds in a majestic way. A complex and broad aromatic palette that recalls notes of dark berries, cedar and mocha that already seduce the taster. Fine texture with a powerful yet rich, balanced and opulent body. The grain of the wine is of extreme finesse and rare elegance. A great terroir where the race is not lacking. An exceptional wine to decant for 60 minutes or to keep for 10 to 15 years in good conditions. This red wine comes from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Syrah from organic farming.

    Blend : 26% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 4% Sangiovese, 2% Grenache.

  • Vinification and Aging

    Vinification : Maceration on the skins between 20 and 30 days, with first a few days of cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation for each different varieties in concrete and wooden tanks from 10 to 80 hectoliters (only indigenous yeast). Two pumping-over a day for about 9 to 12 days, then once a day until the end of the maceration period. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks and wooden casks.

    Aging : Into tonneaux and barrels from new to 3 years old, about 30% of new oak. From 11 months for the most delicate grapes, Alicante, until 20 months for the most powerful ones, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Then 6 months in concrete tanks before bottling.
