Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose is explosive, opulent, seductive and striking.
Notes of plum, red ripe black and sour cherries,
blackberry, rose petal, and tobacco.
Maturation
Around 30 months in large barrels and, for a
small portion, barriques. Each cru is vinified separately
and assembled before bottling.
Appearance
Ruby-red colour with medium intensity.
Palate
On the palate, the
flavor is classic, rich and potent, with balsamic and
slightly spicy notes. The tannins are well integrated.
Vinification
Each individual cru is vinified and aged
separately and in different ways to bring out the
characteristics of each “terroir”. The grapes are
harvested by hand in October. After gentle pressing,
the juice ferments for around 3 - 4 weeks in a steel
tank, in contact with the skins. This period includes
pre- and post-fermentation maceration, involving the
traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic
fermentation takes place in wood.
