INFOS
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
The spring was wet and mild, and the summer was hot and dry until October, enabling us to harvest grapes of perfect ripeness, making this an exceptional vintage.
