Technical notes
Vinification: as soon as the grapes reach the winery, they are de-stemmed and crushed, and the fermentation is carried out by using selected yeasts at a temperature of 28-30°C. The must is pumped over the skins regularly to optimize the extraction of colour and tannins. The maceration lasts 15 days, and the malolactic fermentation takes place before the end of the winter.
Ageing: the wine begins to mature in the January following the vintage, in 2.000 and 3.000 litre barrels made of oak from Allier. After around a year in wood, the wine spends a short time in stainless steel before completing its ageing process in the bottle.
Tasting notes
Ruby-red with garnet highlights; on the nose ripe plums, blueberries and violets merge harmoniously with hints of liquorice, cinnamon and tobacco. Well-structured tannins and intense fruit fill the mouth with a closely-packed, full flavour.
Pairings
Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses.
