Vinification Virtually total de-stemming, pumping over twice a day. Vatting time : 2 to 3 weeks in concrete vats. Matured for 18 monthsin vats and "foudres" (15%).
This wine is a single vat selected in the cellars from the thirty vats produced each year.
Tasting Notes This is a bold, old-school style with big extract and ripe, concentrated fruit, stuffing the palate full of red-berry and plum flavors. Long, tannin hold. Best from 2023.
