Tasting Notes

Wine: The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Wild yeast fermentation and subsequent maceration last 2 to 3 weeks. Between 0 and 30% whole clusters (non-destemmed grapes) are used, the percentage changing according to the vineyard and the ripeness of the stems. At the end of fermentation/maceration each ferment is pressed out before being racked into tanks – with minimal barriques time – and aged for up to 10 months. Elegant nose, delicate hint of tobacco, black and a few red berries, hint of dried flowers, nutty traces, light mineral notes. Clear, firm, tart, juicy fruit on the palate, herbaceous, nuttyand light floral aromas, very fine youthful tannins, light bite, delicate touch of oak, light cedary notes, hint of tobacco, prominent mineral notes,some depth, clear contours, very good, firm, tart, juicy, slightly spicy finish.
