Conditions météorologiques

2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation

Both elegant and intense, this fine cuvée is a beautiful deep red colour, scattered with sumptuous purple highlights.
The bouquet is wonderfully complex with a pleasant combination of black fruit notes (Morello cherry, blackcurrant, etc.) and Virginia tobacco overtones.
Starts out smooth and straightforward on the palate. Well structured, with flavoursome notes of ripe red and black fruits, featuring good concentration and balance. The soft tannins and finish characterised by hints of sweet spices (cinnamon) make this wine simply irresistible.
