The vines grow on very poor soils consisting of 60% yellow schist and 40% granite; the vineyards are 20 to 50 years old and mostly unirrigated. The grapes, harvested by hand at night, undergo spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, followed by 21 days of skin contact and 18 months of maturation in French barriques. The wine shows concentrated red fruit, ripe fruit, subtle menthol notes, round tannins, a full body and an intense, long finish. The vintage was bottled in March 2023, with 34,400 bottles produced.
