Classique

This vintage pairs beautifully with beef entrecote, complemented by the earthy flavours of pan-fried pink oyster mushrooms, the sweetness of cherry-glazed baby beetroot and the rich depth of a bone marrow jus.

Hand-picked from mid-February to end-March 2021. A cold, rainy winter ensured healthy vine growth. Steady, heat-free ripening resulted in pure fruit expression and mature tannins, creating a balanced, harmonious wine.

Malolactic fermentation in tanks, followed by ageing in French oak barrels for 12-16 months.

Grapes delicately crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs.
