Tasting

A bright cherry red colour with deep purple highlights. On the nose the wine is fruity with notes of cherries (bigarreau) and wild strawberries, marked by spicy notes of white pepper. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, delicately enhanced by flavours of fresh sloe, blackberry and toffee.

Tasting

“Inky dark purple core and hue. Pure dark fruit, crushed cassis, blackberry, plum, wild herbs and mild oak notes. Dense and fruit forward palate with freshly crushed dark berry flavours, mild oak and rounded tannin, supple and digest with fine purity and length.”

Light and elegant, this is a voluptuous and enticing wine to be missed neither from the connoisseurs nor from the wine lovers!

The vineyard

Molasse du Fronsadais with muddy facies, calcareous and ferruginous sub-soils give this wine roundness, power and intense aromas of red fruits

Two grape varieties:  MERLOT, CABERNET FRANC

The wine

Traditional vinification in thermo-regulated vats.  5 daily pumping over, 1 release at mid-fermentation and long maceration to maximise extraction of aromas and tannins.

One third of the vintage ages in wood. Blending is performed after a 12-18 months’ vatting period. Natural cold decanting, racking and filtration prior to bottling.
