About this winery

Production notes
The vines for this wine are on average 30 years old. Cold pre-fermentation maceration. Aged for 24 months in fine-grain Allier oak barrels.

The palate reveals fine, velvety tannins and great fullness. Blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate notes emerge, while the finish coats the palate with exceptional sweetness. A wine of both concentration and finesse, worthy of a grand cru.
