Vivino 4.0
Nose with notes of almost candied fruit, spices. Full, ripe, fleshy palate, with velvety tannins and a nice balance of freshness. Vigorous and chewy finish. It is a full-bodied wine that needs to be combined with fairly powerful cuisine, for example marinated game (wild boar, venison, etc.) or even characterful cheeses.
Saint-Doulchard marls from the Upper Kimmeridgian. Natural vinification, 100% fermentation with native yeasts. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for around 8 days then natural start of fermentation. Light punching down is carried out during this period. Vatting for 3 to 5 weeks depending on the vintage. Aged in barrels for around twelve months. Bottled without filtration.
