Vintage

Varietal Composition

Merlot 100%

Alcohol

14% Vol.

 Solid, deep red.

 Enchanting alternation of impressions. Redcurrant, cherry jam, mint chocolate, ink and cedar are only some of the identifiable aromas.

 Fleshy, rich, almost plethoric, with abundant fruit supporting the well integrated tannins. The theoretically high alcohol is balanced by the acidity and expressed mainly as sweetness and volume. Long finish with notes of chocolate.

Red meats grilled or cooked, big roast poultry, like turkey or goose, hairy game, piglet in the oven, soft crusty cheeses.

It will continue to evolve for at least 15-20 years after the harvest year.

Long maceration, ageing in french oak barrels of which 40% new.
