The vines stand around five kilometres from the Atlantic in a cool coastal climate, on well-drained maritime limestone with sand and old dune material. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in open Floating-Dome fermentation vessels for 15 days, then remain on the skins for six months. The wine subsequently matures for 20 months in second-fill and older French oak barrels. Dark cherry, blackberry and plum meet herbal, cocoa and cedar notes; the acidity is cool and mineral, the body powerful and the tannins firm and grippy. The extended skin contact is the defining stylistic feature.
