WINEMAKING
The wine is vinified according to the Burgundian tradition. It is aged in oak barrels for 15 to 16 months with 30% new barrels. The manual harvest is most often sorted, either on the vine or in the cellar, on a sorting table, which allows us to throw out insufficiently ripe bunches.
TASTING NOTES
Nice deep ruby red color. Complex and powerful aromas of black cherry, spices, and tobacco. A powerful wine with solid tannins. The wine offers aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and currant when young and aromas of ripe fruit with a touch of leather, chocolate, and pepper as it evolves.
PAIRING
Perfect with roasted red meat, wild game, and soft cheeses. Best served at 14°C to 16°C / 57°F to 61°F. Aging potential: 5 to 7 years.
