- This is an opulent and velvety wine with notes of leather, roasted tones, and prunes. Refined tannins frame the ripe black fruit and lead to a long, elegant finish with a touch of cocoa. 2019 was considered a balanced year. The summer was warm but without excessive temperatures, which allowed the vines to grow steadily and mature gradually. Average rainfall nourished the vines, allowing them to avoid hydric stress, resulting in healthy, balanced fruit full of concentrated flavours.

Each variety was vinified separately. The grapes were fully destemmed and fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures of around 20°C. Maceration lasted six weeks, extracting aromas, colour, flavours and fine tannins. The wine was skilfully blended and matured in new French oak barrels for 11 months.

| Winery | The grapes are grown in the estate vineyard in the heart of the Fitou appellation, which is in the South of France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is highly influenced by the sea breezes, which mitigate the hot, dry and sunny weather and help to keep the canopies ventilated and the vines healthy. The soils are very poor, with a high proportion of shale and clay-limestone stone. This poor soil makes the vines struggle and encourages them to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, which imparts complexity to the wine. Since 1979, the vineyard has been cultivated according to the Method Cousini; without chemicals, only organic and mineral products are employed to express the true nature of the soil. It requires considerable soil work, including a significant amount of ploughing every year; this also helps form deep roots, making the vines less susceptible to temperature and water stress fluctuations. |
