picture of

Dark ruby red color. A nose with aromas of ripe black fruit, plum, nuances of licorice, mint and with a balsamic touch. A mouth with a nice balance, round, with well-structured tannins and with a very nice length.

Grilled or roasted meats, such as game, lamb, smoked duck breast and even some hearty tasting cheeses.

climate

Maritime climate through the Atlantic ocean. The warm Gulf Stream and Gironde act as a heat regulator and temper the climate. This ensures mild winters, warm summers, and a long, sunny fall. The forests of the Landes protect the vineyards against the cold sea breeze.

soil

The vineyard here covers 113 hectares over 2 hills with a substrate of sand and loam.

vinification

Cabernet Sauvignon 68% - Merlot 28% - Petit Verdot 4% The harvest is manual. The vinification is done in an impressive set of 63 thermoregulated stainless steel tanks from 66 to 220 hl for periods of 15 to 25 days.
