Philosophy

We have set ourselves the goal of making wines as an expression of our ideas; we exchange opinions on a wine before we press the grapes. First a vision, then pure artisanal handiwork: together this makes the Black Edition our prestige line. It allows us the necessary freedom for experimentation, and challenges us every day to take our favourite varieties to the limits.

Vinfication/Élevage

After destemming and crushing, the juice and the berries (with about 5% stems remaining) are left together for a minimum of thirty days and punched down by hand. Malolactic fermentation and the subsequent maturing take place in 70% new and 30% used French oak.

Wine

 A marvellously enchanting wine that is already exhibiting untold finesse in its youth. A delicate Burgundian style, silky and rich in finesse; seductive power paired with masive spice and a great deal of charm. Dazzling fruit and a charismatic finish that just never seems to end.

Food Pairing

Smoked duck breast, pigeon roasted till pink
