VIA XVIII

The grapes come from several parcels at elevations of 400 to 550 metres, with clay, black and red schist, sand, gneiss and alluvial soils. Following manual harvesting and selection, some grapes are destemmed while others are processed as whole bunches, then fermented with spontaneous yeasts under temperature control. The wine is aged for eleven months without batonnage in 400- and 500-litre French oak barrels. In the glass, it shows wild red fruit, herbs, balsamic and mineral notes. It is fresh, moderately full-bodied, marked by acidity and endowed with soft tannins. The vintage was rated 92 points by Robert Parker.
