Ruby color, intense nose with aromas of ripe red fruit. Gourmet, well-structured palate with spicy notes and silky tannins.

Tasting:
To be enjoyed at around 15 °C, the colour is a shimmering ruby, red fruits explode on the nose and the palate is perfectly balanced, long, suave and very supple.

Grapes:
80% Pinot Meunier
20% Pinot Noir

Vineyard:

Terroir: sandy-gravelly on a sandy-clay
subsoilAverage age of the vines: 40 years
Yield: 35 hl/ha
Planting density: 4,000 to 6,000 vines/ha

Culture:

The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable methods. The vines are grassed and pruned short. Every year, we carry out meticulous disbudding, removing double buds to give the main bud maximum ventilation and light so that the grapes reach optimum ripeness. We also carry out green harvesting if necessary.

Winemaking:

The grapes are destemmed before undergoing 48 hours of cold maceration. This is followed by a traditional alcoholic fermentation at 25°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with daily pump-overs. Maceration lasts a fortnight before maturing in stainless steel vats and bottling at the estate.
