A shiny, ruby-red color. Aromas of red currants, Morello cherries, and other forest fruits. Beautifully integrated hints of wood, vanilla, and soft spices. Pleasantly full-bodied and enjoyable on the palate. The velvety character of Merlot makes it very approachable. A deliciously tasty and long finish. Both an introduction to Bordeaux and a safe bet for the seasoned Bordeaux enthusiast.

Classic meat dishes, stews, prepared foie gras, and a delicious, soft goat cheese but also turkey, quail, and partridge. Versatile dining companion.

climate

A moderate maritime climate with the influence of nearby flowing rivers. The Dordogne provides additional cooling while elongated forests protect the vineyards from cold ocean air.

soil

Sandy soil with white clay. Cultivated organically and treated only with environmentally responsible spraying agents.

vinification

75% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are handpicked and fermented separately in temperature-controlled concrete vats. After malolactic fermentation, the wine further matures in a mix of new and used barrels for 12-14 months. Then follows the blending and bottling process.
