Our oenologists' opinion

Powerful bouquet

A frank, open nose, marked by sweet spices such as paprika, with notes of roasted pepper, mocha and mellow oak.

 

The attack is supple and well-balanced, offering a lovely suppleness on the palate.

 

The tannins mellow, giving way to a warm character of roasted spices.

 

Pleasant persistence, with a fairly full-bodied but not astringent finish.

Features

Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.

Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.

Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.

Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

Domain and appellation

  • 2021, a vintage of patience and precision!


    • Early winter saw alternating cold and mild periods.


    • In April, a historic frost event significantly reduced the harvest.


    • A very rainy spring was followed by a slow-starting summer, which remained generally cool.


    • A beautiful late season in September and October helped to preserve the grapes’ aromatic freshness and achieve a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol.
