Winemaking
The alcoholic fermentation is made in stainless steel thermo regulated tanks between 26 and 32°C. During this time, grapes are roded and the juice raised twice a day to break the hat of marc and extract the best colors and the ripest tannins. After a malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged during 6 months in oak barrels.
Tasting
This wine of deep ruby colors develops aromas of very ripe mature red fruits (Morella cherries, prunes...) and vanilla. Its great concentration (old vines with small yield) shows a pleasant structure assuring a very promising future.
Food pairing
This Pinot noir is very powerful; its develop-ment in mouth is remarkable. He will thus ask for a sophisticated cooking and why not a little spiced on. It will accompany small Games or marinated red meats.
