VINIFICATION
The freshly-harvested grapes are crushed and destemmed immediately.

in steel tanks. Cold tartaric stabilisation.
The wine is bottled at summer’s end and then bottle-aged

PRESENTATION
Available formats: 0.75 l and 1.5 l
Alcohol content 13%-14% by volume depending on the vintage
Garnet, with orange highlights developing over time.
Characteristic, delicate and subtle nose recalling violets,
further enhanced with ageing.
Dry and full-bodied, correct tannins from youth,
velvety and harmonious.

WHEN
Young and lively with chewy tannins or mature with harmonious and
smooth flavours?
You choose!
But don’t take too long to decide: up to five years.

HOW
Store in dark, dry place, at a constant temperature
below 20° C. Serve at 16°-18° C in a capacious Burgundy
to allow swirling and oxygenation of the wine,
thus improving perception of the nose.

CLASSIC PAIRING
A sumptuous platter of charcuterie and well-aged cheeses.
Pot roast with baked potatoes. Or a traditional fondue?
All are ideal matches for this wine.

UNUSUAL PAIRING
A risotto with speck (cured and lightly-smoked Tyrolean ham)
and apples? Sweet and spiced to balance this wine.
Seared octopus on chickpea purée, fish and vegetables,
a love match. Pulled pork with
