2009, a great success
With a rainy vegetative cycle, a very hot and dry summer, rare rainfall before the harvest and cool nights, this vintage benefited from climatic constraints favourable to the excellent maturity of the grapes.
This wine has a deep, dense purple colour. The nose is elegant and harmonious, revealing aromas of blackberries and black fruits in harmony with toasty aromas.
This full-bodied, fruity but delicate and elegant wine reflects all the characteristics of the terroir.
To be enjoyed between 16 and 18°C with grilled meat, roast poultry and cheeses.
