Comment

The plots are located in the village of Saint Michel de Rieufret on a rump of deep bass conducive to the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. This vineyard is characterized by its isolation, surrounded by oaks and pines. Careful harvest at the maturity optimum. Vinification after alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated tanks between 22 ° C and 24 ° C for optimal extraction of aromas, color and tannins. The wine is decuited after 15 to 20 days before the malolactic fermentation.

Tasting

With a dark ruby ​​dress, this wine opens on an intense fruity nose with spicy notes characteristic of beautiful well-ripe sauvignons cabernets. On the palate the tannins are flexible and warm. The structure is ample with notes of wood fruit and a flexible finish. This wine will be much appreciated during your aperitifs with delicatessen and cheese boards. This charming wine will marry very well with summer vegetables in gratin, lamb, grilled meats on the barbecue as well as a beautiful piece of beef.
