Originally built by one of Napoleon’s officers on his return from the Egyptian campaign over 200 years ago this property covers 7 hectares with an ideal exposure.
A lovely intense blackcurrant bouquet with notes of cedar oak. The mouthfeel is delicious, brimming with black fruit concentration, soft ripe tannins and a lick of spice, enhanced by a crunchy red fruit acidity. The tannin structure is defined and in-check, providing fine support. A really fine example of technical winemaking in a challenging vintage.
Harvested between 23rd September and 4th October with yields of 35hl/ha. After 100% destemming, fermentation is carried out plot by plot, in small stainless and cement vats with manual pumping over and punching of the caps. The malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. Aged for 18 months in fine-grained French oak barrels of which 40% is new.
