Meticulously harvested, Syrah grapes are put into vats in entire bunches. Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre are completely destemmed. A long maceration in concrete open truncated-cone tanks is led with manual punchdown and pump-over. After a 12-month maturation in 500L barrels followed by an additional 6-month rest in stainless-steel tanks, the wines age another 18 months in bottle to gain harmony.

SENSORIAL CHARACTERISTICS

A deep and dense red colour. A nose with blackberry and blackcurrant hints, enlivened by wild scents, ink and precious wood. The mouth is fleshy with smooth and deep tannins. The initial attack is followed by a liquorice finish. The complexity of this wine will allow it to go through several decades.

WINE & FOOD PAIRING

This wine pairs magnificently with complex courses like a young wild boar haunch grilled with vegetables and chestnuts or with a roasted venison noisette and its juniper-berry sauce.
