Production notes
Terraces on clay-limestone hillsides. Limestone scree (Final Jurassic) alternating, depending on the slope, with blue marl from the Miocene (marine deposits with ostrea fossils). Maceration (15 to 20 days) with punching down. 30 months in small tuns and non-new barrels.
Tasting notes
A dark garnet color with purple highlights. Aromas of small red fruits and spices, of scrubland grass, intense on the palate with a fresh and thirst-quenching finish. Will accompany a fillet of beef with chanterelles or any red meat and game.
