Tasting Notes: The 2019 vintage presents a beautifully structured wine, boasting a rich, ruby color and a complex bouquet of dark cherries, ripe strawberries, and a hint of earthy forest floor. On the palate, it reveals layers of red and black fruits balanced by silky tannins and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and enveloping, with a delicate touch of spice and floral notes that echo the wine’s aromatic complexity.

Vinification: Harvested from the esteemed Champeaux vineyard, known for its stony soil and excellent exposure, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting and traditional vinification methods. Fermentation takes place in open-top fermenters, followed by aging in French oak barrels, with a moderate use of new oak to enhance but not overpower the wine's natural character.
