The best grapes from the best plots are hand-harvested
and carried in small baskets in order to preserve
their integrity. These selected plots surround the
winery and the grapes are harvested at their exact
stage of ripeness.
WINEMAKING
The vinification is performed according to traditional
methods, at a controlled temperature of around 28°C.
The different varieties of grapes are blended after
the malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in Allier
oak casks for two years. Then it is bottled and left
to rest in the bottle for at least one year before
it leaves the winery.
TASTING
Ruby red colour with shades of brick red. Hints of
clove and spices on the nose with a
touch of fruits. Soft and intense. Long with a lot
of nuances of ageing. Serve at 15- 18°C. Ideal
for grilled red meats, ur and feather game.
