This is our latest offspring crafted by Julie.
An exceptional year, fine weather, good yield, harvested in the best conditions.
The selection and the sorting are made as soon as the grape harvest is done, on an old vineyard, low yield, exclusively composed of Merlot red and immediately put in new barrels that were also wisely selected (80 % French Oak tree, 20 % American Oak Tree) for one year.
Please note the subtile blend of aromas and flavours. We can feel a flavour of grilled almond together with blackcurrant that give this wine a sense of a ''quiet force''. It heralds a harmonious ageing.
Its evolution can only be a pleasant surprise.
The wine remains in vats for 12 to 18 months with regular supervision. (racking every 3 months).
These wines are then tested by an enologist who determines the best time for blending. (after tasting, the best proportion of each vat will be chosen for the best blending in order to please the eye, the sense of smell and the amateur's palate)
We have felt the positive effects on wine making since our daughter Julie joined us on the family estate. A real rejuvenation with a feminine touch, especially on the white wine. It is both supple with a lively attack and develops very fruity notes. (fruit from the orchard – pear)
Our advice is to drink it for an aperitif, with some fish or cooked pork meats, but above all as you wish.
Another excellent reason to taste it: It has a very fruity aroma close to the peach and the plum. Its festive side makes it a very pleasant wine throughout an entire grilled meat meal with some friends. Drink as much as you like!
