Over 46 years old vines with low. Part of the vineyard is trellised. Guyot Double pruning and cordon de Royat. Soil type: Clayed and Limestone with gravels. Villafranchien soils in some part.

After pick-up the grapes are brought to the winery. Cold pre-fermentation maceration at 10°C. Fermentation at 27 degrees maximum on the first day and then at 24° for the next 4 days. After fermentation, maceration lasted for 7 days at 18 to 23°C maxi with daily pumping over. After maceration, the wine is very softly pressed with a pneumatic press. First pressings are re-blended. Before malolactic fermentation 50% of the wine is put in 225 litre oak barrels. The wine is aged for 6 months in barrels (American Oak 20% new) In May we have finalised the blend of the barrel. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered..

With aromas of spices and blackberry, the second nose develops Underwood and cocoa aromas finishing on toasted oak notes. On the palate this is100 full bodied rich and mellow with velvety tannins. Complex flavours on the middle palate, liquorice flavours on the finish. Long lasting..
