The over-60-year-old vines stand at the lieu-dit Prés-des-Pierres on very gravelly limestone soil. Yields are limited through green harvesting and further quality selection; the grapes are hand-picked. The fruit is destemmed, macerated and fermented for 21 days, then aged for 20 months: twelve months in 300-litre barrels, followed by eight months in concrete tanks. The wine is deep, compact and powerful, with black berries, pepper, spices and olive notes, fresh tension, noble velvety tannins and a long, slightly bitter finish. It was bottled unfiltered.
