L’Auréa
The estate’s exceptional wine, L’Auréa, is made with grapes from the estate’s oldest vines, rigorously selected for the quality of their fruit.
This wine undergoes a long fermentation period (one month) at a moderate temperature in vats to gently extract the grapes’ full potential.
Malolactic fermentation and maturation are exclusively carried out in new French oak barrels.
Composed of around 80% Merlot and completed by Cabernet-Franc, this nectar was born in the features of the 2009 vintage. All in balance on the nose and on the palate, it first reveals aromas of black fruits (plum , morello cherry) followed by notes of sweet spices (licorice). Of rare elegance, this wine of infinite harmony is produced over the great years in small quantities, not exceeding 2,000 bottles.
