Winemaker Notes
A first sorting of the fruit is done in the vines followed by a manual sorting on a vibrating sorting table. High-frequency de-stemming using a Pellenc de-stemmer, then densimetric berry sorting. The berries are cooled using a cryogenic tunnel (injecting a liquid nitrogen spray). Transfer to vats by gravity-flow using a mobile bin. Vinification in small-sized oak and concrete vats. Pre-fermentation cold soak (8°C). Completely manual pigeages. Low temperature alcoholic fermentations (28°C).
Blend: 59% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc

James Suckling
A juicy red with redcurrants and flowers. Dark stones, too. Medium body with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Polished and balanced.
Barrel Sample: 92-93 -
Decanter
Ripe and full on the palate, dense but lively black fruit fills the mouth with softly chewy tannins giving some power as well as definition. Quite a serious wine but has the right balance between too much and too little. Dense and tannic no doubt but has life and style. 3.65pH. Ageing in 20% french new oak barrels. Harvest September 8 - September 22.Rolland & Associés consultants.
Barrel Sample: 92
