A precious, premium wine featuring aromas of blackberry and spice, endowed with a lovely, long finish that reveals its full elegance.
85% Syrah and 15% Grenache grapes (rootstock 110R). Our old Syrah vines – now more than 25 years old – are planted on Block 3. Stony clay and limestone soil. Southeastern exposure at an altitude of 230 metres.
Maximum pomace oxygenation and intensive extraction are achieved by manually punching down the cap in open wooden vats. Vatted for around 25 days. Only the free-run juice is used. 10 to 12 months in new barrels. Each block is isolated from the others until it finishes maturing, when blending can finally take place.
A deep burlat cherry colour, strong, clear and bright with slight glints of garnet and ruby. An intense, heavy and rich nose featuring highly complex notes of delicate eastern spices, black truffle and elegant woodiness. On the palate, this wine is straightforward, powerful, fruit-forward, smooth and perfectly balanced with harmonious tannins. The mouthfeel is enthusiastic, to the delight of every taste bud. A fabulous bottle of wine with great potential. Decant this wine before serving and make sure the temperature does not rise above 15-16°C.
Serve between 15 and 16°C. Ideal with dishes served with sauce, truffle garnishes, truffle cream ravioli or venison fillet with grand veneur sauce.
