Vintage details
This vintage was born from the conjunction of a wet winter, a rather dry spring and a very hot summer. It can be characterized as a "vintage of fire". Fiery and rather austere in its youth, it now reveals its strong character and its great potential. Its powerful structure finds its place in a silky envelope, so characteristic of this limestone terroir of the Triassic.
Tasting notes
"An iron hand in a velvet glove". The flavors of spices mingle with intense black fruits. Its firm tannins give it an interminable length in the mouth supported by an intense minerality. This wine allows very classic gastronomic pairings with meat and game, but also more daring, such as fish, even lobster.
