picture of

Bright ruby red color with brownish red reflections. Lots of black fruit, cocoa, licorice, thyme and a typical earthy spiciness. In the mouth, it is a perfect balance between a frivolous fruity style and the often slightly too rough but more complex wood-aged styles. A 'feminine' style and a lovely glass of wine that has a lot to offer. Also in the final, the balance between fresh, elegant tones and deeper, complex tones is preserved.

Matured entrecôte, roast beef, châteaubriand or other fine meats, but also light stews with mushrooms or winter vegetables.

climate

Temperate maritime climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Even distribution of precipitation throughout the year. In the summer the temperature is moderated by fresh ocean currents. The winters are very moderated.

soil

Plateau of lime and clay soils that is further from the "Vienne".

vinification

At the end of September, the grapes are picked manually. Strict selection followed by careful pressing. Fermentation under controlled temperatures on concrete and stainless steel, after which the wine matures further in a mix of larger and small wooden barrels.
