A certified organic Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion with explosive power and opulence. This cuvée is most certainly made for cellaring!

The grapes are harvested by hand and totally destemmed before undergoing a temperature controlled vinification. The wine is then raised in new oak barriques. Powerful and tannic, this cuvée impresses with its opulence and is built to last. Pair with characterful dishes.
