Vintage

A relatively milde winter was followed by a dry March and a dry and warm April, and flowering set in somewhat earlier than usual. There were no long heatwaves in the summer. In spite of this, the head start in the vegetation cycle became shorter and shorter up to the harvest, and the first grapes were harvested at the beginning of September, with the last load reaching the winery on October 9. The white wines of the 2020 vintage present with an appealing acidity; the reds are impressive for their elegance and finesse.

Tasting notes

– dark violet-ruby
– fine, elegant fruit on the nose, reminiscent of ripe berries, bramble and cocoa, woodsy undertones
– dense and creamy on the palate, finely structured tannin with a long finish

Recommendation

This wine pairs well with game, roasts, dark meats and hard cheeses.

Vinification

Fermentation on the skins with an extended maceration of two weeks at 28 °C, malo-lactic fermentation in barrique, followed by a 12-month ageing (1/3 new oak) ligth filtration and bottling in April.

Vineyard

Gently sloping vineyard with east to southeast exposition at 230 – 260 meters above sea level, on loamy, sandy, weathered chalk soil.
