VINEYARD

One of the most important appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise, the vines which produce this Premier Cru are planted at 300m above sea level on a mixture of marl and limestone soils.

WINEMAKING

Grapes went through cold maceration for 2 weeks to extract colour from the skins. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was aged in 228L oak barrels during 10 months to get the fine tannins, the structure and the finesse this wine deserves.

 TASTING NOTES

Deep ruby colour. Aromas of black cherry, spices and cocoa beans, this wine is rich and balanced. The fine tannins and the concentration will allow the wine to age well.
