The winter of 2016-2017 was very lacking in water, with rainfall 30% below usual levels. The first half of the season was cold, after which winter offered up some very mild temperatures. Budding was early and this mildness lasted through into early spring, which activated growth. On the nights of 28 and 28 April the temperature fell to -6\u00b0C in some areas, creating significant frost. After these nights, which caused issues for many of the region\u2019s wine estates, warm and dry conditions set in until the end of the spring. This caused water stress in the vineyards. From 25 June onwards, significant rainfall marked a change in the weather. The summer was dry and rather cool. Veraison was early and rapid. Welcome rain in early September allows the skins to fully ripen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest area*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]16,45 hectares[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest terroir*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Limestone plateau and limestone-clay hillside[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Grapes harvested*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]93% Merlot – 7% Cabernet Franc[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest dates<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]18 to 23 September[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Winemaking<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Learn more about winemaking<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Cultivation methods<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Estate certified organic since 2006 and biodynamic since 2008 \u2013 member of Biodyvin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Maturation<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]30% new barrels and that have contained at least one previous wine[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Yield<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]35 hectolitres \/ ha[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Production<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]36.000 bottles[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]* For this Vintage.<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” up=”20″ down=”7″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=”justif”]Tasting notes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A beautiful purple colour and a deep nose. At this stage, the wine offers up blackberry, black cherry and gingerbread aromas. Ample and harmonious on the palate, classic in style. The initially silky texture becomes more velvety when swirled. Black fruit shines through, paired with violet and verbena. The lingering finish underscores the wine\u2019s mineral character.
\nThis wine has huge potential and will assert its personality as it ages.
\nUtterly astonishing density and length for the vintage.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”52px”]<\/i><\/a><\/span>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
