The Story

The vineyard consists of 55 hectares (135 acres), on 38 different parcels, which provide with a rich, wide range of soils and climates. The soil is a mix of clay, chalk and sand with pebble stones. The improvements at the Domaine have been incredible: new pneumatic presses, new stainless steel vats, new destemmer, new vinification and aging plant, and aging in oak barrels for the top wines. All the grapes are raised by culture raisonnée which is very close to organic viticulture (intervention in the vineyard only when necessary).  The yield is reduced in the vineyard by ébourgeonnage (de budding in spring) and vendanges vertes in summer (green harvesting).  Oak aging for the top wines in special barrels like “jupille” for 10 months.  No expense is spared at this Domaine to achieve quality.

Written Notes

Good looking magnum size bottle, in an perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, deep and full. On the nose it is intense, complex, ripe, generous and pure. The taste is powerful, perfumed, toasty, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced, well-structured and well-integrated structure. The finish is long, extensive, pure, spicy and vibrant. This wine is intelligent, sexy and outstanding. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
