The vintage
2020 is an early vintage with impressive ripeness and exceptionally healthy grapes. After the substantial fall rains, the soil's water reserves were fully recharged. The dry summer led to a great concentration in the berries, and the light early September showers secured a harvest at peak maturity.
Terroir
Selected plots are located in the "Les Encostes area, on the Crapon terraces. This emblematic soil of the appellation is composed of blue marl from the Pliocene era on a fine sand bed covered with colluvium. Vines are north-oriented, which allows them to avoid any water stress.
Winemaking
Harvest started on the 2nd of october at optimal maturity. On arrival in the cellar, the harvest is completely destemmed. Long maceration with partial punching down. Fermentation at controlled temperatures. Ageing in concrete tanks for 12 months before bottling.

Reviews
"A bold, exuberant style, with a lot of personality and generous notes of inviting fruit and mulling spices. Boasts black cherry, licorice and crushed graphite elements on a full-bodied, fleshy profile. Stays focused, thanks to solid, well-built tannins. Substantial, gutsy and charming"
"This has aromas of mulberries, dried thyme, cloves and spice box. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Compact with a core of juicy, ripe cherries and berries, and a flavorful, vivid finish. Drink or hold."
"“Light aromas of cranberries, wet soil, strawberries and red plums. Medium body, supple and soft tannins. Lusciously easy drinking with flavors of black berries mid palate. Curls in your mouth like a wave.”"
