The wine
The domain’s emblematic cuvee. It’s one of the great Languedoc wines. It’s raised for 36 months, of which 24 in oak barrels, which have seen two or three wines, generally Bordelais Grands Crus. A great gastronomic wines with a lovely long finish. Once again, Alain Chabanon has made a remarkably fresh wine, given its density, a style which evokes the best side of Bordeaux, in other words an easy drinking, digestible wine.
