ELABORATION
|
|
Produced from a base of Merlot, Red Grenache and Cabernet Franc grapes, manually harvested and selected at the moment of optimum maturity.
Vinification at the controlled temperature of 18 to 20 degrees using traditional methods of prolonged maceration, “délestage” and pumping over … to result in the perfect combination of polyphenols and polysaccharides., and conserving the aromas, the elements that give the wine its complex structure.
Aged for 12 months in lightly toasted French Allier oak barrels, with a maximum of three vintages per barrel.
It reaches a peak of elegance with less time in the bottle and fruity.

TASTING NOTES
|
Wine with a cherry color, conserving tones of violet. Very intense scents, combining wild red fruits with a lightly toasted barrel, maintaining its mineral personality. Meaty flavor at entry of the palate, with tannins well integrated and a good acidity that give it a persistent finish. The backbone of this wine is without a doubt the equilibrium of tannin-alcohol-polyphenols accompanied by a good pH.
