The soils from the Northern parcels contain silt and gravel from the alluvial Meuzin valley. In the southern parcels, the silts originate from the Combe des Vallerots (deep within the earth, marl-limestone).

Harvesting: Manual Only
Average Production : 7500 Bottles
Wine Characteristics : With a purple tint, intense and sometimes veering to mauve, the aromas often evoke rose and licorice.

Macerated fruity notes complete the bouquet. Vigorous and robust, it has body and character with a balanced and framed structure. Long lasting on the palate, it can be fully enjoyed after several years of ageing; maturity brings a sultry and elegant roundness.
