Description

Location

The vineyard is located in the Minervois appellation, at the foot of the Montagne noire and the Saint Jean de Minervois plateau, in the little village of Agel, which lies within the “Parc naturel régional du Haut Languedoc”.

Vinification

This very rare cuvée (under 2’000 bottles produced) was made the first time in 2008. Manual harvest at phenolic maturity with a strict selection in the vineyards. Produced by “Vinification intégrale” meaning vinification in 400L barrels of french oak with a maceration of 60 to 70 days. The cuvée is then kept for 12 months in barrels. The wine is aged in bottle during 12 months.

Tasting notes

Nice harmony between tasty grapes and oak barrels with its aromas where griotte and iodine blend. Toast, vanilla, fresh fig, Agen prune, nutmeg, mint and giroflée.
