MaturationThe vinification of this wine follows a careful process aimed at developing complex aromas and improving the texture. After fermentation, the wine remains on its fine lees for about a month. During this time, the wine is stirred regularly, a technique known as "bâtonnage." This promotes malolactic fermentation, which makes the wine smoother and creamier by converting sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid. Following these initial steps, the wine is aged for 12 months in large 2500-liter oak barrels. These barrels allow for subtle micro-oxidation, which helps harmonize the aromas without overwhelming the wine with too much wood flavor. This maturation intensifies the aromas and ensures that the wine develops a balanced structure. Before the wine is finally bottled, it undergoes a light filtration. This filtration serves to remove unwanted particles to ensure clarity and purity in the glass, without compromising the natural aromas and texture of the wine. Ultimately, this process yields a wine that impresses with both complexity and elegance.

Serving suggestionThe wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes. Its full and rich flavor pairs particularly well with a juicy T-bone steak, where it underscores and enhances the flavors of the meat. The dry and refreshing texture of the wine, together with its complexity of floral and fruity aromas, complements not only steaks but also other robust meat dishes such as lamb or game. To fully enjoy the spectrum of aromas, the wine should be decanted slightly before serving. This allows it to unfold its complex structure and harmonious taste, which is highlighted by its finely tuned tannins.
