Vinification and ageing
The harvest is triggered after very precise monitoring of maturity and of a daily tasting of the berries. The picking is manual and the grapes are meticulously sorted as soon as they enter the cellar. The two grape varieties are vinified separately, which allows the make the most of the potential of each grape variety. Carignan is vinified in carbonic maceration for a period of 10 to 15 days, and a traditional maceration with total destemming is carried out for Grenache. Part of the wine is aged in barrels for a period of 12 months.
Tasting notes
The dress is a beautiful garnet. The nose reveals aromas of ripe fruit, of spices, roasting and bud of blackcurrant. The power of the tannins is soft with a velvety grain. The balance is perfect.
