Ratings & Reviews

Vinification

85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon

Aging

Pre-fermentation maceration at 8° for 2 days. Increase every day till 25° and then the fermentation starts in inverted cone-shaped tanks. No pumping over. A natural dèlastage process starts inside the vats thanks to the gravity which creates a convex movement for 6 hours that helps a soft extraction. This process happens once or twice p/day. Élevage in oak barrels ( 225 Liters) for 18 months: 50% from Bordeaux Cooper and 50% from Burgundy ( François Frère, Tremeaux, Taransaud, Demptos, Darnajou)
