Nose
Spicy nose, revealing, after aeration, notes of juicy black fruits (black plums, blackberries).
Palate
Quite fresh on the palate, with a well-melted tannic structure. Spicy, slightly peppery notes are present. lt can be forgotten for a few months in the cellar, but will also bring a lot of pleasure today.
Growing Conditions
Located on the most beautiful south-facing gravelly hillside of the estate, it has found its perfect expression on this remarkable terroir. The meticulous care given to the vines and a very careful vinification, resulting from a long know-how, give it elegance and balance.
2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.
