More info

This cuvée is made from 60 year-old vines and is one of the great cuvées of the Alquier estate. Its colour is dark, with a nose that gives way to notes of ripe fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry) and spices. Supple and luxurious on the palate with a lengthy finish, this wine can be kept for around ten years. Both viticulture and vinifications were natural, with minimal intervention. The 20-day vatting period took place at 30°C with punching down. The wine was raised in barrels for 16 to 18 months.
