The grapes come from a plot on the heights of Chouilly. The product page provides no information about the soil. The estate’s first Merlot cuvée matures for twelve months in an amphora or dolium. The vintage shows a deep, clear garnet-red colour and aromas of sour cherry, blackberry and blueberry, complemented by smoky, resinous notes. On the palate, it is fresh and taut, with persistent acidity, medium to full body and pronounced, well-integrated tannins. Its distinctive feature is maturation in amphora without any oaky influence.
