The vines for this Tannat wine thrive on slopes with rich soils, combining clay, silt, and gravel, benefiting from a southeast exposure. The vinification combines a harvest at perfect ripeness, a cold pre-fermentation maceration, and controlled vatting. An aging period of 15 to 18 months in concrete tanks softens the tannins while enhancing the fruity aromas. The result is a velvety texture with a refined structure, reflecting meticulous work at every stage of vinification.
