TerroirThe vineyard plots are planted on soft Alveolina limestone dating from the Ypresian and Bartonian stages in Aigne, allowing the roots to penetrate deeply in search of water. A thin, bright white stony surface layer provides a protective effect, limiting water loss, while reflecting sunlight to promote optimal berry ripening.
VinificationEach vineyard plot was carefully harvested at peak ripeness and vinified individually to preserve its unique character.
Carefully destemmed, the grapes underwent a 48-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by a gentle, temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation. Following careful juice selection according to the variety, the must was allowed to settle. Fermentation at low temperatures ensures the wine retains vibrant aromatic freshness.
AgeingPart of the blend was aged in tank on fine lees for 6 months, while the other part was matured in barrels, enhancing minerality while reinforcing the fruit character and adding roundness on the palate.
Winemaker's notesWith a deep, dark ruby hue, this wine unveils a complex, intense bouquet of blackcurrant jelly and licorice. The palate is rich and expressive, featuring layered dark fruit flavours complemented by fresh spice notes, culminating in a long, silky finish.
