Beaucoup de baies, de cerises, d'herbes. Bien équilibré avec des tanins fermes. Bonne structure.
Our little secret
We select the grapes from our best plots and vinify these in oak barrels. This early integration of wood, before the wine is matured, allows better extraction of colours and aromas. It offers ample wines, showing greater character and complexity.
