The grapes come from small plots more than 70 years old, some planted before phylloxera, on calcareous clay soils over limestone at altitudes of around 400 to 650 metres. After manual harvesting and double selection, the wine ferments slowly with indigenous yeasts in small stainless-steel tanks; the skins remain in contact for up to 30 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French barriques, after which the wine matures for at least 18 months in wood and two years in bottle. It shows ripe black fruit, fine spices and toasted notes, with plenty of body, firm tannins and a mineral, fresh, lingering finish. The 2020 vintage received several high international ratings.
