| Climate conditions | 2019 climate was very contrasted. January was wet, February and March dry. Spring was fresh and rainy and Summer began very hot. Some important storms in July limited drought. This Summer allowed a good grapes maturation and the harvest occured on October 7th and 14th in excellent conditions. |
| Type of winemaking | The must ferments in French oak barrels for one or two months. In order to avoid using too much sulphur, fermentation is interrupted by cold stabilisation and filtering. The wine obtained conserves about 190g/l of residual sugar, balanced by a refreshing note of acidity. |
| Type of ageing | In French oak and acacia barrels (10% new) for 10 months. Bottled on September 7th 2020. |
| Tasting notes | On the nose, this wine presents aromas of apricot, figs and quince. It is very concentrated, rich and opulent on the palate, always well balanced and never heavy. |
| Food recommandation | Serve at 10-12°C. It pairs perfectly with hot foie gras with figs, strong cheeses, tarts and any fruit desserts. It can also be carafed and enjoyed by itself. It has a cellaring potential of over 20 years. |
