The soil in clay on schist and are approximately 25 years old. It is 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Grolleau Noir. The grapes were destemmed and then macerated for a week prior to pressing then aging on their less for 10 months in a tronic oak tank. The Grolleau Noir was picked first and the Cabernet Franc added the next day. It was bottled in July 2024. In weight it sits somewhere between the Cabernet Franc cuvée and Bisou. The tannins are noticeable but fine and restrained and the wine is lively, fresh and juice with aromas of black fruits.
