The vines grow in the Tsoume vineyard on the alluvial fan of Chamoson, in calcareous, gravelly and slightly sandy soil. The old vines are trained in a lyre system with very low yields and harvested at 98° Oechsle. After destemming, the wine undergoes 21 days of skin maceration with pigeage. Ageing lasts 20 months: twelve months in 300-litre casks, followed by eight months in concrete tanks. The wine shows dark fruit, notes of ivy, great density and concentrated yet supple tannins. It was bottled at the end of July without filtration; ageing for ten to 15 years is recommended. ([simonmaye.ch](https://www.simonmaye.ch/produit/merlot/?utm_source=openai))
