Ageing: one year in barriques from Allier and one year in oak casks still from Allier (2000 lt). After a soft clarification, the wine is bottled for a further period of maturation in
the bottle, the lenght depends from the characteristics of the vintages, but never less than 12 months.
Shelf-life: The wine will reach its peak 6-8 years after the harvest, but its life can vary considerably depending on the vintage.
TASTING NOTES
The colour is garnet-red with ruby highlights that take on a slightly torange tone over time. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and wellbalanced, and is very long-lasting.
PAIRINGS
Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company.
