Here’s the detail; organic manures and in-row green crops. Then quality devoted management: soft pruning, de-budding, large leaf surface, leaf plucking. Harvest sorting out. Cold o r hot pre-fermentation maceration. Temperature controlled fermentation (24/30 °C), 14-to-28-day vatting with pumping-over and ‘délestages’. Temperature and oxygen controlled storage in stainless steel, concrete or oak vats, on lees. Low dose fining. Tangential filtration, then on cartridge during nitrogen-protected bottling. Fabien says; ‘Deep colour with crimson tints. Brimming with black fruits flavours (blackberry, black cherry), red fruits (cassis, blueberry) and violet. Mineral and lightly toasty. Full-bodied, rich texture and great balance, with ripe and fine tannins.’ Show more
