Lithe and linear, this has aromas suggesting Mediterranean scrub, French oak, camphor and blue flowers. On the ethereal palate, fine-grained tannins accompany ripe Morello cherry, fennel seed and saline before a drying close.

Product Description:

Harvest: manual harvest in the early morning and delivery to the cellar in 10 kg boxes. Fermentation: after the destemming, grapes ferment in small conic steel tanks with selected yeasts at 23°C. During maceration, which lasts 10-12 days, daily breaking up of the marc are carried out by punching down. After the racking, malolactic fermentation is carried out partly in oak barrels (tonneaux) and partly in steel tanks with indigenous lactic bacteria. Maturation: it matures for 12 months, partly in 500 and 700 litre oak barres (tonneaux) and partly in steel tanks. Afterwards, it matures for 6 months in the bottle before the release.
