The Cairanne vineyard is nestled in the middle of a terroir of terraces (terraces) which gradually descend from the Ventabren hill. These lands of scrubland and rocks give wines of finesse & melting tannins.
Hillsides and terraces. 3 complementary soils covered with limestone gravel: white limestone clay (power), red clay (aromas) and glaciofluvial sands (roundness).
Intense purple color with purple hues. Nose of black and ripe cherries supported by spicy and minty notes. On the palate the balance is perfect with a freshness stimulated by the crunchiness of the fruit and the pepper under the cover of well-integrated and integrated tannins. Drink now to enjoy its fruit, it will reach its peak in 3 years and can easily mature 10 years and more depending on the quality of the vintage.
Harvested at full maturity, vinified in stainless steel vats with regular punching down, pumping over, temperature control, more than 20 days of vatting.
