Corbières
Dark garnet red. A fairly dry summer with rain showers at judicious moments in the growing cycle allowed the vines to achieve perfect balance. The 2019 vintage is characterized by its freshness with blackberry and raspberry on the nose, complemented by deeply aromatic notes of camphor and menthol.

As the whole harvest was matured together and of similar quality, all the grapes were assembled in two vats (due to the harvest time). Vinified at 25 ° C, slight pump-ups were carried out each day of the first week. Then, light moorings of the hat were carried out throughout the vatting for a duration of three weeks. Once extracted, the wine carried out its malolactic fermentation without difficulty
