Ruby red in colour - red fruits aromas with small cherry notes and hints of spices.

A pleasant, easy drinking and harmonious Burgundy without the heftic price tag.

Winemaking & Aging:

Manual harvest then maceration of the destemmed grapes in concrete or stainless steel vats which lasts from 6 to 10 days.

Daily cap punch-down. The press is done using a pneumatic press.

Ageing lasts 6 months on fine lees in old oak casks and 600 litre barrels. The wine is finally blended in stainless steel vats during 3 weeks. This last step allows the wine to settle properly.

Slight filtration prior to bottling.
