Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, renowned for its balance and finesse, benefited from a hot, dry summer followed by a temperate autumn, allowing the grapes to ripen to perfection.

Nose: Complex and elegant, with aromas of ripe red and black fruit (cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry), accompanied by floral notes of violet, sweet spices and subtle, well-integrated woody nuances.
Palate: Supple, full attack. Fine, silky, well-structured tannins. Well-balanced mid-palate, combining fruity intensity and freshness. Long, harmonious, lingering finish with spicy and floral notes.
