- Vineyard Notes
-
The vineyard is located in the heart of the terroir of St Julien. On one of the most beautiful hilltops of Garonne gravel, facing the Gironde, the clay-gravelly subsoil makes it possible to perfectly regulate the vagaries of the weather throughout the year. Plowing is traditional, without weeding or herbicide. The vines are mainly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), Merlot (23%) and Cabernet Franc (3%).

- Winemaking
-
The harvest is entirely done by hand. After destemming, the berries are meticulously sorted, crushed and placed in thermo-regulated wooden vats, according to their plots. The alcoholic fermentation lasts from 7 to 10 days and the extraction is always respectful of the juice by adjusting the number of pumping overs according to the cuvées and the vintages. The maceration is about 3 weeks then the flow in barrels is done batch by batch.

- Ageing
-
The wine is aged between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new wood, in a cellar maintained at 15°.
- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Complex aromas and notes of plum, silky ripe blackcurrant, cedar, pencil lead, leather, tobacco. Balanced and long, velvety finish.

Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart nach Minze und Eukalyptus, mit einem Hauch von Dörrzwetschgen unterlegt, entwickeltes Bukett, rosinierter Touch. Mittlere Komplexität, präsente, vegetale Tannine, zarte grüne Nuancen, trocknet im Finale ein wenig aus, zart adstringenter Nachhall.
