Tasting Note
This wine comes from our oldest vines situated on the Hauts Artèmes plateau, which rises to an altitude of 290 metres, and benefits from the exceptional weather conditions of that we experienced in 2005.
The colour is intense, the nose is complex and thoroughbred. The form is precise, unveiling a mouth that is rich and full, where cacao dominate. The tannins are elegant, with blending woody notes where the sensation of freshness and balance dominate.
Yield: 30hl/ha - Can be kept for up to 15 years. Decant before serving.

A fine accompaniment to leg of lamb and game.
