The harvested took place between the 29th of August and the 15th of September. Skins are thin and tannins very elegant, with blackcurrant notes and pepper. While the yields vary from parcel to parcel, the harvest on the estate is small overall.

Grape Varieties:

100% Merlot

Terroir:

The grapes come from our parcel named "Garance" on sandy loam soil. A well-drained soil that produces a rich and intense Merlot.

Winemaking:

After an important follow-up work carried out in the parcel to obtain perfectly healthy grapes at optimum maturity. The grapes were immediately pressed and placed in vats. The alcoholic fermentation, deliberately short (10 days) was done under neutral atmosphere with daily pumping over.

Vinification without added sulphites.

Vegan Friendly.

Tasting notes:

A very generous "nature" style with a fine, juicy structure. Fresh and charming with intense aromas of red fruits.
