Product notes

Well-drained red limestone soils and a temperate climate thanks to a strong Atlantic influence. In 2021, the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were in excellent condition and had reached ideal ripeness at harvest time. After the base wines were fermented at a controlled temperature, a period of vatting (post-fermentation maceration with the skins) lasting about a week was carried out.

Production notes

Following a rigorous selection process based on numerous tastings and analyses, the final blend was created and then aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Bright, vibrant red. Intense, concentrated aromas of fruit and oak. On the palate, notes of red fruit dominate and blend harmoniously with supple tannins. The finish is fresh, slightly mineral, elegant, and highly complex.
