Cuvée Viva 2012

Aged for 12 months, 25% in cement vats, 75% in barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 of one wine, 1/3 of two wines), it is characterized by its aromas of ripe fruit and blackcurrant liqueur, with floral notes (peony and old rose). Racy, balanced and fleshy, it gives even more after 7 years of ageing, enriching itself with delicious aromas of truffles.

Opinion

Journalist

“This 100% Merlot delivers intense aromas of ripe black fruits, spices and toast. The attack is round and fleshy, the development ample and powerful, supported by “square” tannins. A wine with a strong character.” Guide Hachette des Vins

The team of the domain

Fruity nose of cherry and citrus fruit with a floral character. Sensual mouth, long and pure with salinity on the finish.
