Lieu-dut ‘Les Burderlines’ – the soil is made of manganese-rich granite. South-East exposure, 230 meter altitude. The Burderlines plot belongs to one of the 18 ‘climates’ registered by the National Institute for Designations of Origin. Old 50 year vines planted at a high density.
Ageing is done on fine lees in old oak casks to enhance micro-oxygenation. The other part of the crop is matured in vats in order to preserve fruit aromas. A small part is also aged in one year old oak barrels for 3 to 4 months.
Intense colour between garnet and deep ruby. Red fruit nose with floral, smoky and undergrowth notes. The mouth is rich, and well structured. In a few years the aromas will evolve towards more spice, much and venison.
