The vintage
An exceptional year. Despite the summer heat and limited rainfall, the harvest produced grapes of remarkable quality, resulting in wines that are both sun-drenched and refined.
Terroir
A diversity of soils — clay-limestone, gravel, and sandy clay — combined with a temperate oceanic climate, allows for a slow, even ripening of the Bordeaux grape varieties. The result is structured, elegant, and indulgent wines that capture the essence of the region
In the vineyard
Grape selection begins in summer, guided by vineyard monitoring, infrared analysis (FOSS)
and berry tasting, allowing precise and optimised harvest timing for perfect maturity.
and berry tasting, allowing precise and optimised harvest timing for perfect maturity.
Winemaking
Traditional vinification in stainless-steel tanks, using selected yeasts to highlight the varietal character. Gentle pump-overs early in fermentation extract fine tannins and colour — much like the infusion of a tea — creating balance and roundness without bitterness. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, softening acidity and bringing smoothness to the palate.
Ageing
Aged in concrete vats to preserve freshness and fruit expression. This gentle, oxygen-free maturation promotes harmony and balance, resulting in wines that are pure, authentic, and finely structured

Tasting
Deep red colour with garnet highlights. The nose offers generous aromas of ripe black fruits lifted by delicate spicy notes. On the palate, the texture is ample, smooth, and velvety, supported by supple, enveloping tannins. The long, elegant finish reveals fresh fruit and natural finesse. A harmonious and indulgent wine, crafted for immediate pleasure.
Food pairings
Pairs beautifully with herb-roasted chicken, creamy gratin dauphinois, or fresh goat cheese. For dessert, a red fruit tart highlights its bright, juicy character and lingering freshness.
