Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes are
carefully harvested and sorted out by
hand.
Before beginning the alcoholic
fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to
work on the phelonic component's
exctraction. Then full maceration lasts
for 15 days during which we'll use
only pigeages (punching the cap).
Intensity and numbers are lead to the
concentration of tannins, perfumes
and colour.
Alcoholic fermentation is realized
with natural yeasts
After maceration, free and press juices
are separated for aging.
Aging process is taking place 100% in
traditional Burgundian 228 liters
barrels during 16 months with around
40% of new barrels.
We only use French oak coming
mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and
Vosges forests.
The wine spends 2 months in
stainless steel tanks before bottling

Tasting notes
EYE
Nice intense and shiny red coloration.
NOSE
The nose is complex and composed of small red
berries aromas (cassis, cherries) with a touch of
earthy characteristics.
PALATE
In the mouth, tanins are silky and allow to appreciate
a good onctuosity which is balanced by some
salinity.
