The wine

The vines flourish in a soil of gravel and sand, giving wines that are fruity and tannic. The grapes are handled with utmost care. After 15 days of fermentation with pigeage, the wine is matured in oak barrels. This is a wine with undeniable finesse and sumptuous, fruity aromas. Round and mellow, its has an elegant, tannic profile. Meats and cheeses will make for perfect accompaniments.

The wines are of a modern style and express the typical nature of their terroir well; they are all the more interesting as prices remain reasonable.
