Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
The wine offers and intense and deep colour with powerful aromas of red and black fruits and of liquorice. Structured, with a long aftertaste, it develops a lot of finesse and the tannins remain silky. A great wine.
Vintage
2024 is less generous than 2023, but it is a vintage of great quality.
2024 was a very rainy year. The climate fluctuations had a strong impact on the harvest. Careful sorting combined with the winemaker's know-how have made it possible to obtain tasty wines, both in white and red.
Flavoured and generous, fresh and of pure, they can be enjoyed in their youth, even if some can age for a few years in the cellar to reveal their full expression.
Vintage review
Winemaking
Supply: this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.
Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded.
Vinification: whole crop harvest of 20 to 50% depending on the vintage. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by punching of the cap and pumping-over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting.
Ageing: in oak barrels including 30% of new barrels.
The ageing lasts between 16 to 20 months.
Origin of the wood: oak grown in French high forest.
Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
