Tasting Notes

Golden yellow robe. Intensely smoky aromas, grilled fruits, and liquorice liqueur on the nose. The palate is refined and elegant.

About the Wine

The Beltins parcel is covered with Silex, and working the soils there is extremely challenging!

With this cuvée, we aim to capture the savory texture of the terroir known as “Silex.” To achieve this, we performed a very gentle clarification followed by alcoholic fermentation of 10% of the juice in 300-liter oak barrels with a double toasting. The double toasting involves a stronger toasting of the wood, which imparts toasted aromas to the wine reminiscent of the “smoky” taste of gunflint. The juices ferment ed in Burgundian barrels bring refinement and a delicate tension to the wine.
