Upbringing: Grapes are destemmed, then put into vats at 12°C for 5 days to extract the primary aromas. Indigenous yeasts are used. During fermentation, the temperature is monitored so that it is around 26 °C, never more than 30°C. Smooth extraction respecting the grape variety, terroir and vintage. Fermentation lasts around 20 days.
The wine is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (Allier and Vosges, 20% new) - the malolactic fermentation is performed in barrels with ageing on fine lees Lightly filtered before bottling on favourable lunar days. |

Critic Reviews:
'Perfumed and with smoother fruit than the Clos Rousseau. Fully ripe and full of appeal. So sweet with a little inkiness on the end.' 16.5/20 (jancisrobinson.com)
'A hint of aromatic raspberry accompanies the more obvious red-cherry notes on the nose of this wine. The palate brims with freshness and has juicy crunchness at its cherry core. The wine is fresh-faced, honest but also firm, which is evident in the structured finish.' 92/100 (Anne Krebiehl MW, WineEnthusiast.com)
