Tasting Notes:
Very good intensity color, violet/crimson. Very open nose of black fruits (cherries, plums) and a fine woody character. Full and powerful on the palate, dominated by ripe but fresh fruit with a slightly tannic structure. Soft and elegant. This wine is ready to drink.
Winemaking: Manual harvest in small boxes of 10 kg. Sorting on a vibrating table in the winery. No addition of sulfites on the harvest. Start in direct fermentation by inoculation with neutral yeasts vatting. 3 weeks vatting, without punching down, only pumping over. The press wine was incorporated in the cuvée only partially.
Aging: After a short rest in the vat, passage in barrels of 1, 2 or 3 wines for 7 months. 15% new cask. Slight sulfiting at the end of malolactic fermentation.
Food Pairing: The Mild cheeses such as goat cheese and creamy brie. Seared tuna especially with an Asian accent such as a sesame crust. Chicken or rabbit with a creamy mustard sauce.
