Vinification : Vinification : de-stemming of the harvest, sorting and limited skin contact. No malo-lactic fermentation.
Vineyard and soil : the soil consists of dry gravels and the subsoil is claysilt and gravel with traces of the iron oxide called ‘crasse de fer’.
Area : 1,3 ha
Vineyard management : the parcels are cultivated using traditional methods with weed-control under the vines, controlled inter-row grassing and mechanical leaf-thinning. Green harvesting was carried out for this vintage.
Grape varieties :
100% Merlot
Tasting note : A beautiful chrystal-clear pale pink colour, very aromatic aromas, hints of red fruits and citrus fruits (orange peel and grapefruit). Supple, round and fresh on the palate (pomegranate, raspberry), the finish is long and fruity.
