Presentation
This wine is the jewel in the estate's crown: a selection of the best plots, sorting to keep only the best berries, separate vinification in small stainless steel vats and barrel ageing coupled with aging in amphora and jars.
This is a delicate, elegant, complex wine, perfect for laying down for a decade or so, but also a quicker approach for the more impatient! A rare wine produced in small quantities.
The vintage
For this 2014 vintage, the summer was unfortunately not very sunny, with rain and some precipitation. At the end of August, the Indian summer arrived and lasted until October, which proved to be a lifesaver for the vintage. 2014 is a miracle!
