Additional Information

Average age of vines: Old and younger vines This cuvée has become almost a legend for informed amateurs. In this wine, the main grape varieties used are Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Côt and then there are a multitude of grape varieties, some of which are unknown (Gamay, Côt, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Gascon Noir…). Fermented and vinified together. A complex, gourmet, fluid and racy wine that hides a great depth behind its apparent simplicity.

As Claude did before him, Etienne is continuing the tradition of very long elevage in barrel
