WINEMAKING : <\/mark><\/strong>Grapes are wholly destemmed. Long fermenting : 21 days to obtain
supple and well present tannins. The pressing, end of fermenting and conservation in
stainless steel tank until the first racking process. Then, the wine in aged in new barrels
(half in strong heating + half in less strong heating) from January to October , to soften
the tannins, to oxigenate the wine and to bring a touch of vanilla which will blend with
the structure of the wine. From the bottling, the harmonious blending between the
structure of the wine and the aging in barrels brings a good balance which is going to
improve for a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOUQUET : <\/mark><\/strong>Powerful and well-constituted wine, a strong ruby colour with a purple tinge.
