Harvest and winemaking
The grapes were manually harvested in 15 kilos open boxes on September the 2nd, 2020.
The vendange was wonderful and the wine-making processes happened in optimal conditions.
The wines were casked at the beginning of October and matured in barrels for 24 months. (12months in barrel, 12 months in concrete).
Produced in a confidential manner and patiently aged in our cellars, this cuvée, which can be appreciated in its first years, will be fully revealed after 5 to 6 years of ageing. The search for finesse and maturity have been the guides that enable us to offer you a wine of very high quality.
