winemaking
Ageing in French oak barrels for 12 months in underground cellars (30% new barrels and 70% used for 1 or 2 previous vintages) in order to obtain a good balance between the wine's powerful, full-bodied side and the understated oak that contributes to a round, smooth aftertaste.
food pairing
A wine to enjoy with grilled meat like beef or duck and soft-ripened cheeses.
ageing potential
Depending on the vintage, from 8-10 years, but pleasant to drink after 4 years.
