Critic tasting note: "(2001) Classically savoury cedar-wood and cassis nose. Lovely depth of coffee-bean, hints of violets. Large-scaled wine on the palate with thick, sweet tannins and a pure core of black fruits. This has good acidity and there is a terrific sense of brooding complexity that suggests this well be outstanding given time." - 91/100, Tom Cannavan

- Winemaking
-
The gravity-flow vat cellar receives the grapes in small 3hl mobile bins brought by lift. 22 new tronco-conical pure concrete vats received this vintage in parcel lots. The alcoholic fermentation was done at 26° to 30°C depending on the potential of the lot in the vat and the desired extraction of tannins. Vatting lasted between 3 to 5 weeks in total. The malo-lactic fermentation was done in new barrels for the best vats of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Spring was cool and flowering was a success however the weather heated up over the summer with August becoming very hot and dry. The intense heat caused many of the grapes and vi...
