In the vineyard
Guyot Simple pruning. The vineyards are grassed in order to regulate the water supply and control the vigour of the vines.
Winemaking
Long traditional maceration (15-20 days).
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
Advice
Serving

Tasting
Dark, intense colour. Powerful carnal nose with tempting notes of ripe fruit, plums, tobacco and roasted peppers. The palate is full, well-structured and balanced by full-bodied tannins.
Food pairings
Perfect with a rib of beef, grilled meat (flank or loin of beef, rack of lamb).
