Terroir


SOIL: Subsoil dating from the LOWER OLIGOCENE, composed of clayey sand, gravel, pebbles, and silty green clay.

Viticulture & Vinification

HARVEST: Hand-harvested

VINIFICATION: For alcoholic fermentations, the estate prepares starter cultures (pied de cuve) from early-harvested grapes, selecting the most active native yeast strain to inoculate the musts. Pump-overs are carried out during maceration to extract optimal color and tannins. The timing for ending maceration, pressing the skins, and racking for aging is decided strictly by tasting.

AGING: Aged for 18 months in concrete tanks.

BOTTLING: Light filtration prior to bottling.

CLOSURE: Natural cork

Sommelier's Note

"This vintage delights with a juicy, enticing nose bursting with blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry notes. On the palate, the wine reveals a firm structure backed by tight yet promising tannins. A fine terroir wine with great cellaring capability, which will benefit from being decanted generously while young, as it awaits its peak around 2026–2028.”
