A highly intense wine with an ample aromatic profile: there are notes of red fruit (redcurrant) along with sweet hints of red liquorice and jelly beans. It evokes patisserie, fine pastry and burnt caramel. On the palate it is light and smooth, yet full of flavour. A mouthwatering and creamy wine, with flavours reminiscent of candied berries.
The 2021 vintage was initially marked by a lack of water in the ground. However, we managed to rectify with precision, plot by plot and row by row, during the green pruning process. The vineyard efficiently took advantage of the rare June rainfall. Furthermore, the average temperatures recorded in the summer were lower than previous years, and there were no extreme heatwaves. So, given these circumstances, the cycle was completed slowly, without any undue stress upon the vineyard. The first fortnight of September was hot, which was good for the grape ripening. The wines of this vintage are characterised by their good balance and aromatic complexity.
