Winemaking
Traditional fermentation in open vats, with short, silky pump-overs to extract the best tannins. Some of the Cabernet Franc and Syrah grapes are aged in one-wine barrels, to give a light oaked wine.
Specificites
Palate
The mouth is powerful but silky, with a freshness typical of the high-altitude wines of the Cabardès area. Beautiful balance.
Specificities
Food pairing
This wine goes perfectly with Anna HAUGH recipe, such as “Red wine braised beef with peas and girolles mushrooms”. It pairs very well with red meat, grilled or in sauce, a beef tartar or a cheese platter.
