- Vineyard work: Plantation at 10,000 vines/hectare, goblet pruning on stakes. The plot is worked with a horse because of the high density (planting 1 meter by 1 meter)

- Vineyard work: organic and biodynamic - Biodyvin label and Ecocert certification.

- Vinification: Hand-picked in boxes, sorting table for the harvest before vatting by conveyor belt. Fermentation in oval vats at a temperature of 16 to 22 degrees in order to extract the maximum of aromas and fatness; end of fermentation at a temperature of 24 degrees. Vatting time of 8 to 10 days, 100% whole bunches for this cuvée.

- Tasting notes: A beautiful ruby red colour, brilliant and limpid, with diaphanous and undulating reflections between violet and cherry. The nose reveals beautiful notes of flowers and small red fruits. The attack is frank and straightforward. The fruit is slightly crushed and gives a lot of juice in which the red dominates. The acidity is present, giving fullness and depth. This cuvée will go perfectly with red meat, tartar or game.

- Terroir : Sand on 6 m

- Grape variety : 100% Cabernet Franc
