June 2018
This year 2016 was marked by an exceptionally mild winter. Summer temperatures were normal until mid-August, then the Indian summer peacefully settled in until mid-November. The saving rain of September allowed the reactivation of the vine to allow its final phase of maturation and an optimal harvest.
The density and depth of colour reveal a wine still in its youth. The palate is charmed by a beautiful freshness supported by a mineral aroma, with fresh fruit and a hint of white pepper. The finish reveals a hint of mocha. The silky tannins give good length and power to the palate. A vintage that promises to develop very well in the coming years, worthy of a great Bordeaux classic.
Unique, timeless, and unbeatable, it is the first representative and keystone of the domain. That is why it receives the greatest attention in its preparation. After sorting the grapes in the vineyards and then carefully on a sorting table, vinification is done by parcels with minimal intervention. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete and thermoregulated stainless steel tanks before aging for 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, with an annual production of around 80,000 bottles.
