This exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a limestone-rich single vineyard plot blessed with its own microclimate. The powerful nose highlights notes of balsamic and wild aromatic herbs, along with spicy black pepper and clove. The full bodied palate opens with juicy blackcurrant and a hint of zesty orange peel, giving way to fresh bay and warming oak on the long, voluptuous finish. After 19 months ageing in new French oak barrels, the wine is ready to reveal its charms, but can be left in the bottle to age for a further five years.

Winemaking
After sorting, the grapes were fermented at low temperature with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for around 1 to 3 weeks; during this time, gentle extraction was performed by delestage and remontage. After a spontaneous malolactic fermentation in tank, a unique system devised by Pascal Delbeck was used to move the wine to "IFO" steel mini-vats, allowing pump-free racking without moving the tanks. This was followed by 19 months in oak barricas of 225L.
