ORIGIN AND TERROIR :
limestone, clay and sandstone at the foot of the Montagne Noire in the middle of arbutus and holm-oaks.
GRAPE VARIETY :
100% Merlot
VINIFICATION TECHNIQUE :
Harvest maturity of minimum 12° in order to obtain substance, dry extract and aromas of ripe fruit. 100% de-stemming to eliminate stalks which are particularly astringent. Alcoholic fermentation between 28° and 30°C for 10 to 20 days. This stage confers the wine's perfect colour, both in intensity and quality. Ageing in new casks and 2 to 3 wine casks from 6 to 9 months
TASTING :
Intense red with violet hints. Powerful aroma of vanilla, undergrowth and ripe strawberries. The mouth is ample and velvety. The tannins are well balanced, giving the wine a pleasant smoothness.
GOURMET ADVICE :
goes perfectly with red meats, game, and mature cheeses.
