Winemaking

Vinification is classic, with a long maceration and two or three delestages. The wine is aged at 100 % in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months.

Tasting

The selection of old vines produces quality grapes. The cabernet franc brings elegance and finesse to the powerful fruit of the negrette. The result is seductive, based on a balance between aromatic expression, tannic structure and freshness. A beautiful palette of black fruits, very spicy, and the chic of ripe Cabernet underlined by sober ageing that leaves the wine fluid and crisp.

Wine and food pairing

Beef fillet en croûte, or roast woodcock with chanterelles.
