Aroma
A complex aromatic bouquet combining aromas of red and black
fruits (raspberry and blackcurrant) with floral hints, in particular
violets, which then evolves into more spicy notes.
Appearance
Dark ruby in colour.
Palate
The palate is full and complex, revealing an aromatic blend of
black fruits, spices, and braised, peppery notes, supported by a
strong, velvety tannic structure.
Vinification
Harvested in 50 kg crates, the different plots are vinified and aged
separately in order to best reflect the specificity of each terroir.
Aged in demi-muids for 18 to 20 months then blended en-masse
for one month before bottling by gravity without filtration.
Food Matching
Beef carpaccio, steak tartare or a slow-cooked 7-hour leg or
shoulder of lamb.
Region Notes
Mica schists. The vines are grown on steeply sloping hillsides with
a southern exposure (Fourvier location) and on upper slopes
facing east and south-east (Le Plomb and L’Arselie locations).
