Location
This cuvée is the result of a careful selection of several cool-climate terroirs, from the foothills of the pyrénées to those of the Cévennes, in the south of France. On those limestone soils, Pinot Noir can fully express its inner finesse.
Winemaking
Wine-making starts with a cold pre-fermentation of two days, that aims at settling the freshness and crisp of the fruit. Then, alcoholic fermentation takes place at a warmer temperature of 32-34° that enriches the profile of the wine with a round and lush tone.
Ageing
The wines are aged in different types of oak, in order to gain more complexity ; the levels of toasting of the barrels range from medium to medium+. They complement each other, expanding the bouquet and range of aromas and flavours of Pinot Noir, all the while outlining its inner fruit quality and finesse.

Tasting
With a beautiful bright ruby color, this wine expresses delicious aromas of blue fruits on the nose, such as plums and blueberry. The savoury finish delivers a gorgeous touch of pastry (blackcurrant almond muffin). The palate is crisp, with loads of black and red fruit and a slight peppery note which contributes to the overal fresh balance of the cuvée. This is a wine of pleasure.
Food pairings
This cuvée will pair wonderfully with a roasted rack of lamb or pork, a beef or tuna tartare or a mushroom risotto.
