Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot

Soil: Of Pliocene origin, sedimentary formations characterized by the presence of alternating strata of yellow sands and clay with a notable presence of marine fossils.

Micro-climate: Warm and temperate with average to elevated precipitation, cold winters and warm to very warm summers and particularly sunny late afternoons and sunsets given the precise western exposure

Exposure: Southwestwards with a north to south orientation of the vine rows.

Vineyard work: A working of the soil alternated with a cover crop along with a cordon de Royat training system. Crop thinning during the growing season and a final selection of the crop: during the hand picking, the bunches are placed in small packing cases and are selected on a belt as they are about to be pressed.

Two weeks of skin contact at 79° -81° Fahrenheit (26°-28° centigrade) and a complete malolactic fermentation.
Aging: For 12-14 months in small French oak barrels followed an 18 month period of bottle aging before commercial release.

Suggestions: A wine with an important aging potential, over 20 years, to be tasted in ample and capacious
crystal stemware at a temperature between 61° and 65°  Fahrenheit (16°-18°  centigrade)

With food: The meat dishes of the grand cuisine, game; an excellent match as well with aged cheese.

Our Mediterranean Bordeaux, with strong and mature fruitiness and balsamic notes. A high-quality baritone, in which richness is never unrestrained, but rather perfect for aging.
