Tasting

Lively and appetizing, this blend of Merlot and Cabernet enjoys a nice balance between freshness and tannic load. Red fruits and spices dominate the aromas of this wine.

​

Harvest

The harvest, destemmed, is directly vatted to begin its maceration.

​

Winemaking

Once the grapes are harvested at maturity, the maceration can begin. This is triggered by the yeasts indigenous to the grapes. Thus, after two weeks of fermentation, we carry out a post-fermentation maceration, which softens the tannins. Thereafter, the marc conveyed in the press.  The malolactic fermentation will start, in spring, during the maturation.
