Production notes
18 months in French oak barrels followed by 3 months in Allier French oak foudres of 22hL.
Tasting notes
Garnet color with a slightly orange rim and a medium layer. Complex medium aromatic intensity. It perfectly combines the freshness of the red fruit as raspberry and cherry and the complexity added by its time in French oak barrels. Subtle pepper and balsamic notes are followed by roasty and smoky aromas. It has an interesting entrance in the palate with gentle, fine, rounded and wide tannins. Of a medium-high acidity and pleasant and persistent aftertaste.
